Researchers believe artificial intelligence could cut the diagnosis time for lung diseases to just minutes.
Researchers believe artificial intelligence could help ease hospital pressures by cutting diagnosis times for lung diseases.
Tuberculosis and pneumonia often require a combination of tests like CT scans, blood tests, X-rays and ultrasounds to diagnose.Prof Ramzan told BBC Scotland that in normal circumstances, diagnosis can take weeks depending on the radiologist's availability. The technology uses X-rays, then compares the scans to a database of thousands of images from patients with pneumonia, tuberculosis and Covid.
Researchers at the institution are now looking into using the technology to detect other diseases using X-ray images like cancer.
