Machine learning classification for COVID19 patients performed on small datasets of CT scans.

2022

In this work we evaluated the possibility of carrying out classifications of the outcome of patients with COVID19 disease through machine learning (ML) techniques working on small datasets of computed tomography (CT) images. In fact, one of the most common problems for medical artificial intelligence (AI) applications is the limited availability of annotated clinical data for model training. In the framework of the artificial intelligence in medicine (AIM) project funded by INFN, we analyzed datasets of CT scans of 79 subjects combined with clinical data containing information relating to positive outcome (no need for intensive care) or poor prognosis (admission into intensive care unit and…
