ABSTRACT
The most widely used method for diagnosing COVID-19 is the reverse transcriptase PCR test “RT-PCR,” which is a time-consuming, expensive, difficult, and complex manual technique that necessitates the involvement of professional medical personnel. Furthermore, RT-PCR testing has a wide range of sensitivity. Thus, there is an urgent need to design alternative automated methods for a more rapid and precise COVID-19 diagnostic. Recently, many researchers from around the world have proposed new ways to detect COVID-19 making use of medical pictures like chest X-rays and CT scans are combined with artificial intelligence. In this chapter, we study, analyze, discuss, and compare some of these proposed solutions.
