Amidst the Coronavirus Pandemic, Huawei has recently developed a new AI assisted quantitative medical image analysis service to improve Coronavirus infection diagnosis in collaboration with the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and Lanwon Technology.
The launch of the new service could play a major role in improving the infrastructure which can accurately and quickly detect the viral infection. This could potentially help curb further infections and other complications in time. The National Health Commission of China has now officially included the diagnosis solutions offered through the service alongside its own prescribed treatment and detection solutions, which were published back in 4th February 2020.

Huawei Cloud utilizes artificial intelligence technology such as computer vision and medical image analysis to automatically detect the virus quickly and accurately. It even details the CT quantification and other results from the imaging to the clinical doctors at hand. The new service will bolster the fight against COVID-19 and could help relieve pressures and workloads from quarantines and the on duty doctors in the Hubei province.
Notably, the new service also utilizes powerful computing capabilities through Huawei’s Ascend series of AI chipsets. These processors can also output CT quantization results in mere seconds, making them a lot more viable and efficient in comparison to traditional methods used by doctors. Conventional techniques involve manually drawing ROIs that need to be tested separately. Thus, the Huawei diagnostic solution could prove to be very useful in the weeks to come.
