Abstract
Early and accurate diagnosis of Covid-19 is crucial. Current methods like RT-PCR have limitations in accuracy. CT imaging offers higher sensitivity but lacks specificity. This paper introduces CovidCTNet, an open-source deep learning framework using a small cohort of CT images to improve Covid-19 diagnosis accuracy to 95%, surpassing radiologists' accuracy of 70%. CovidCTNet uses BCDU-Net for preprocessing and a CNN for classification, handling heterogeneous data and small sample sizes.
