“We were a little shocked. It had a perfect record of separating the COVID from the non-COVID pneumonia (ultrasounds),” said Robert Arntfield, a Lawson researcher and medical director of London Health Sciences Centre’s critical care trauma centre.
“I’m willing to acknowledge that 100 per cent seems too good to be true, but in the science we’ve done and the way we’ve conducted it, it’s sufficiently strong that we’re very confident there’s a signal there, kind of like a QR code buried in the lungs that we can’t see but the computer vision can extract.”
The doctor on the study was just floored.
