With the rapid spread of the novel COVID-19 virus, there is an increasing demand for screening COVID-19 patients. Typical methods for screening coronavirus patients have a large false detection rate. An effective and reliable screening method for detecting coronavirus is required. For this reason, some other reliable methods such as Computed Tomography (CT) imaging is employed to detect coronavirus accurately. In this paper, we present a 3D-Deep learning based method that automatically screens coronavirus patients using 3D volumetric CT image data. Our proposed system assists medical practitioners to effectively screen out COVID-19 patients. We performed extensive experiments on two datasets i.e., CC-19 and COVID-CT using various state-of-the-art 3D Deep learning based methods including 3D ResNets, C3D, 3D DenseNets, I3D, and LRCN. The results of the experiments show the competitive effectiveness of our proposed approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
