Abstract
The COVID-19 diagnostic approach is mainly divided into two broad categories, a laboratory-based and chest radiography approach. The last few months have witnessed a rapid increase in the number of studies use artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to diagnose COVID-19 with chest computed tomography (CT). In this study, we review the diagnosis of COVID-19 by using chest CT toward AI. We searched ArXiv, MedRxiv, and Google Scholar using the terms “deep learning”, “neural networks”, “COVID-19”, and “chest CT”. At the time of writing (August 24, 2020), there have been nearly 100 studies and 30 studies among them were selected for this review. We categorized the studies based on the classification tasks: COVID-19/normal, COVID-19/non-COVID-19, COVID-19/non-COVID-19 pneumonia, and severity. The sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, area under the curve, and F1 score results were reported as high as 100%, 100%, 99.62, 99.87%, 100%, and 99.5%, respectively. However, the presented results should be carefully compared due to the different degrees of difficulty of different classification tasks.

Inception Recurrent Residual Neural Network (IRRCNN), which is based on transfer learning, was used for the COVID-19 detection task, and the NABLA-N model was for the segmentation task
Summary
Coronaviruses have been around for many decades, and it has affected many animals/mammal species and human being. Coronavirus is a family of RNA viruses that is capable of causing significant viral pathogens in humans and animals. Corona is medium-sized viruses with the largest viral RNA genome known. Coronavirus infects both birds and mammals, but the bat is host to the largest number of the viral genotype of coronavirus. As of 24th of August 2020, there have been more than 23 million confirmed cases of coronavirus worldwide, with about 800,000 of such cases resulting in the death of the infected patient. This is spread around 216 countries, areas, or territories. Around 90 million tests have conducted in China, followed by the USA, Russia, and India, with 72 million, 33 million, and 32 million tests, respectively [2]
