Evaluation of a COVID-19 Pneumonia CXR AI Detection Algorithm

Conditions
Covid19
Registration Number
NCT04561024
Lead Sponsor
Ensemble Group Holdings, LLC
Brief Summary

This study investigates the diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm in the detection of COVID-19 pneumonia on chest radiographs.

Detailed Description

This is an international multi-center study. Chest radiographs (CXR) from different participating centers will be collected to develop an AI algorithm to detect COVID-19 pneumonia. This will be tested on external hold out datasets from different centers using SARS-CoV-2 by Real-Time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) Assay as ground truth.
