Artificial Intelligence In Computed Tomography, Cheyenne Dippre

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

Abstract

This research project explains the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and the ways that AI can be useful in computed tomography (CT). The current state of AI application in CT is still new yet has been advancing with its significant impact on diagnosis, image analyses and patient care. These impacts deal with the challenges that have traditionally been associated with CT scans through a series of techniques and algorithms. In CT, computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a common procedure which is used to diagnose cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death worldwide. AI can assist with such a …

Chest Ct Vs. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing For Covid Diagnosis, Megan Chlebove

Medical Imaging Senior Posters

This project explains reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests (RT-PCR), how they are used to test patients for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and how chest computed tomography (CT) imaging can assist in diagnosis. False negatives in RT-PCR testing, ground glass opacities (GGOs), pros and cons of using CT and RT-PCR tests together for diagnosis, and the use of artificial intelligence to diagnose COVID on a CT image are also discussed. COVID is a respiratory disease discovered in December of 2019 in Wuhan, China and has spread to the entire world. RT-PCR tests are the main form of diagnosis of COVID and …
