CT Biomarkers Identification by Artificial Intelligence for COVID-19 Prognosis

Withdrawn
Conditions
Covid-19
Registration Number
NCT04418245
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The study hypothesis is that low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) coupled with artificial intelligence by deep learning would generate imaging biomarkers linked to the patient's short- and medium-term prognosis.

The purpose of this study is to rapidly make available an early decision-making tool (from the first hospital consultation of the patient with symptoms related to SARS-CoV-2) based on the integration of several biomarkers (clinical, biological, imaging by thoracic scanner) allowing both personalized medicine and better anticipation of the patient's evolution in terms of care organization.
