Diagnosing and localizing Covid-19 in High resolution CT(HRCT) scans using Deep learning / Zonaira Munir - 62p. ; Soft Copy 30cm.

With the break-out of covid-19 as a world-wide pandemic that has a higher spread rate,
it became a need to find a solution that would work in the favor of the patient as well
as the radiologist. Since 2020, there have been many attempts to cater for the problem.
Many researchers proposed detection and classification models in an attempt to
automate some parts of the diagnostics process.
The common methods found in the reported literature includes using models like
VGG16, FCNN, Unet, ResUnet, Inception net and Alex net for the tasks of detection
and classification of covid-19 benign or malignant.
This thesis aims to explore the possibility of detecting and localizing covid-19. The
covid lesions were segmented and then detected using Attention Res-Unet. The lungs
were segmented into the major lobes using Unet and then an attempt was made to
localize the detected lesions with respect to segmented Lung Lobes.
