Advanced Diagnostic & Interventional Radiology Research Center

COVID-19 pandemic 

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Radiology Research Center at Tehran University of Medical Sciences continued its research activities despite the challenges posed by the increased demand for CT scans of COVID-19 patients and the necessity of adhering to strict health protocols. This center played a crucial role in improving medical imaging techniques, optimizing diagnostic protocols, and advancing technologies related to CT scan image analysis.

Faculty members, researchers, and staff remained committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of healthcare professionals and patients while actively engaging in imaging data analysis, developing artificial intelligence algorithms for faster disease detection, publishing scientific articles, and presenting their findings at international conferences. These efforts aimed to enhance diagnostic accuracy, improve treatment processes, and alleviate pressure on healthcare systems.

 

Key achievements of the Radiology Research Center during the COVID-19 pandemic include:


✔️ Development and optimization of lung imaging protocols for faster and more accurate COVID-19 diagnosis
✔️ Implementation of artificial intelligence technologies for automated CT scan analysis and reduced diagnosis time
✔️ Publication of high-impact research articles on innovative imaging methods for COVID-19 patients
✔️ Participation in national and international projects focused on COVID-19 diagnosis and patient management

The center remains dedicated to advancing research in medical imaging and continues to contribute as a leading scientific institution in improving the quality of diagnostic and therapeutic services.

Deep COVID DeteCT: an international experience on COVID 19 lung detection and prognosis using chest CT

an international experience on COVID-19 lung detection using chest CT {faces}

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents open questions in how we clinically diagnose and assess disease course.
Recently, chest computed tomography (CT) has shown utility for COVID-19 diagnosis. In this study, we developed Deep COVID
DeteCT (DCD), a deep learning convolutional neural network (CNN) that uses the entire chest CT volume to automatically predict
COVID-19 (COVID+) from non-COVID-19 (COVID−) pneumonia and normal controls. We discuss training strategies and differences
in performance across 13 international institutions and 8 countries. The inclusion of non-China sites in training significantly
improved classification performance with area under the curve (AUCs) and accuracies above 0.8 on most test sites. Furthermore,
using available follow-up scans, we investigate methods to track patient disease course and predict prognosis
