Real Medical ML vs Soviet Russia

Real Medical ML Practitioner Meanwhile in Soviet Russia CT scanning is just awful for diagnosing Covid-19 I got asked the other day to comment for Wired on the role of AI in Covid-19 detection, in particular for use with CT scanning. Since I didn't know exactly what resources they had on the ground in China, I could only make some generic vaguely negative statements. I thought it would be worthwhile to expand on those ideas here, so I am writing two blog posts on the topic, on CT scanning for Covid-19, and on using AI on those CT scans. As background, the pro-AI argument goes like this: 1. CT screening detects 97% of Covid-19, viral PCR check detects 70%! 2. A radiologist takes 5-10 minutes to read a CT chest scan. AI can do it in a second or two. 3. If you use CT for screening, there will be so many studies that radiologists will be overwhelmed. In this first post, I will explain why CT, with or without AI, is not worthwhile for Covid-19 screening and diagnosis, and why that 97% sensitivity report is unfounded and unbelievable. Next post, I will address the use of AI for this task specifically. @ Mail.ru Group Строим Интернет Определяем COVID-19 на рентгеновских снимках с помощью Keras, TensorFlow и глубокого обучения Перевод Tutorial Keras

A split image contrasts a serious medical machine-learning discussion explaining why CT scans and AI are unreliable for COVID-19 diagnosis with a Russian post claiming COVID-19 can be detected from X-rays using Keras, TensorFlow, and deep learning. The joke mocks exaggerated or poorly validated medical AI claims and is used as a reaction to overconfident technology hype.
