Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has posed significant challenges to healthcare systems particularly in the realm of medical imaging and the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia lung lesions Artificial intelligence AI has become essential in assisting radiologists by swiftly analyzing extensive volumes of computed tomography CT scan data to identify lung abnormalities Radiologists who typically conduct thorough examinations of CT scans benefit from AI s capability to pre-screen images flag potential issues and prioritize urgent cases thereby enhancing efficiency during times of high demand AI especially through deep learning can recognize subtle patterns in lung images that may be overlooked by human eyes offering valuable second opinions and improving diagnostic accuracy and consistency The early detection of COVID-19 lung lesions by AI facilitates prompt treatment helping to prevent disease progression and improve patient outcomes This review article aims to consolidate current knowledge on the topic by examining existing literature and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of employing CT imaging and AI tools for diagnosing COVID-19
