Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and systems for detecting COVID-19 from a lung image of a patient. The exemplary system may include a communication interface configured to receive the lung image acquired of the patient's lung by an image acquisition device. The system may further include at least one processor, configured to determine a region of interest comprising the lung from the lung image and apply a COVID-19 detection network to the region of interest to determine a condition of the lung. The COVID-19 detection network is a multi-class classification learning network that labels the region of interest as one of COVID-19, non-COVID-19 pneumonia, non-pneumonia abnormal, or normal. The at least one processor is further configured to provide a diagnostic output based on the determined condition of the lung.
