CONTEXTFLOW

Enhancing radiology workflows with AI tools for faster, accurate lung disease diagnosis and reporting

The EU-funded Contextflow project proposes to develop deep learning-based tools to improve radiology workflows and save time while improving reporting quality, capitalising on the existing SEARCH and TRIAGE tools. SEARCH is a 3D image-based tool designed to reduce search time for difficult cases. Lung diseases are hard to diagnose and SEARCH can detect 19 disease patterns, linking a 3D image to reference cases with similar findings. TRIAGE is a tool that automatically detects disease patterns to quickly identify time-critical patients. The current project aims to complete technical and business development before product launch. The coronavirus (COVID-19) is characterised by anomalous lung patterns that Contextflow is capable of detecting, presenting opportunity for efficient high-priority disease diagnostics.
