Buryat doctors have used a new method for diagnosing coronavirus. Artificial intelligence helps doctors in identifying pneumonia, including those with signs of COVID-19. This technology is based on analysing computed tomography images, RIA Novosti reports.

The Republican Clinical Hospital in Ulan-Ude received modern medical equipment and the equipment developed by the Sberbank Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The equipment is capable of carrying out 150 studies per day with an accuracy exceeding 90%.

The technology is a neural network that detects inflammation, making the diagnosis faster and more accurate. Work is underway to expand the capabilities and areas of application of the model, it is also supposed to be used for studies of mammographic images, diagnosis of stroke and in other medical fields.

Artificial intelligence technology is considered by Russian scientists as an assistant in the development of a vaccine against coronavirus.

According to Izvestia, graduate students of the National Research Nuclear Engineering Physics Institute of Biomedicine of Moscow Engineering Physics Institute have developed an LED installation for the safe treatment of serious diseases. The development is successfully used in the treatment of patients with COVID-19.
