Abstract

The recent global outbreak of COVID-19 damaged the world health systems, human health, economy, and daily life badly. None of the countries was ready to face this emerging health challenge. Health professionals were not able to predict its rise and next move, as well as the future curve and impact on lives in case of a similar pandemic situation happened. This created huge chaos globally, for longer and the world is still struggling to come up with any suitable solution. Here the better use of advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence and deep learning, may aid healthcare practitioners in making reliable COVID-19 diagnoses. The proposed research would provide a prediction model that would use Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning to improve the diagnostic process by reducing unreliable diagnostic interpretation of chest CT scans and allowing clinicians to accurately discriminate between patients who are sick with COVID-19 or pneumonia, and also empowering health professionals to distinguish chest CT scans of healthy people. The efforts done by the Saudi government for the management and control of COVID-19 are remarkable, however; there is a need to improve the diagnostics process for better perception. We used a data set from Saudi regions to build a prediction model that can help distinguish between COVID-19 cases and regular cases from CT scans. The proposed methodology was compared to current models and found to be more accurate (93 percent) than the existing methods.

  • The goal of this research was to strengthen the diagnostic procedure by reducing the inaccurate diagnostic perception of chest CT scans and encouraging clinicians to differentiate against patients who are sick with COVID-19 or pneumonia, and empowering health professionals to distinguish chest CT scans of healthy people

Summary

Introduction

COVID-19 pandemic first appeared in December 2019 when many Chinese people were affected by pneumonia. This disease spread in more than 170 countries of the world, and a lot of fatalities were reported. WHO has declared it as a pandemic [1,2,3], ; this is not the only pandemic that the world is facing, rather many outbreaks occurred in the past, and it may be expected in the future. When any such outbreaks occur, appropriate vaccines, drugs and infrastructure remain unavailable for
