Differentiation of COVID-19 from other types of viral pneumonia and severity scoring on baseline chest radiographs: Comparison of deep learning with multi-reader evaluation
Fig 2
Examples of CXR severity score evaluations by two radiologists.
The black vertical and horizontal lines indicate the four lung zones. Red circles highlight lung abnormalities. (A) CXR shows a mild reticular pattern in both upper lobes with an extent of <24% and ground glass opacities (GGO) in both lower lobes with an extent of 25−49% on each lobe. A total score of 10 was assigned by both readers. This patient was discharged home from the emergency department. (B) CXR shows more involvement of the lower lobes (75−100%), with consolidation in the left lower lobe. A total score of 34 was assigned by both readers. The patient passed away 23 days post COVID-19 test positivity.
