Multi-task driven explainable diagnosis of COVID-19 using chest X-ray images

作者:

Highlights:

• Develop COMiT-Net with 4 joint tasks to segment lung and disease regions using CXR.

• COMiT-Net predicts presence of COVID-19 by differentiating them from healthy lungs.

• Extensive comparison with existing deep learning algorithms for each of the 4 tasks.

• Assemble frontal CXR from various sources against labels for 4 different tasks.

• Creating and publicly releasing manual annotations for lung and disease segmentation.
