Radiologists develop AI tool to identify risk of COVID complications

At the University of California, Irvine, (UCI), for example, two radiologists are part of a multidisciplinary team of doctors who developed an AI application now being used to help doctors at the UCI Medical Center assess the potential severity of a COVID-19 patient’s condition. Neuroradiologists Peter D. Chang, MD, and Daniel S. Chow, MD, assistant professors in residence, Department of Radiology at UCI, also serve as co-directors of the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Diagnostic Medicine (CAIDM), a multi-specialty initiative to develop and integrate AI technology across the UC Irvine health care system.
