Performance of AI approaches for COVID-19 diagnosis using chest CT scans: the impact of architecture and dataset = Leistungsfähigkeit von KI-Methoden zur COVID-19-Diagnose mittels Thorax-CT: Der Einfluss von KI-Architektur und Datensätzen

AI is emerging as a promising tool for diagnosing COVID-19 based on chest CT scans. The aim of this study was the comparison of AI models for COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore, we: (1) trained three distinct AI models for classifying COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 pneumonia (nCP) using a large, clinically re...

Zusammenfassung:AI is emerging as a promising tool for diagnosing COVID-19 based on chest CT scans. The aim of this study was the comparison of AI models for COVID-19 diagnosis. Therefore, we: (1) trained three distinct AI models for classifying COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 pneumonia (nCP) using a large, clinically relevant CT dataset, (2) evaluated the models’ performance using an independent test set, and (3) compared the models both algorithmically and experimentally. In this multicenter multi-vendor study, we collected n=1591 chest CT scans of COVID-19 (n=762) and nCP (n=829) patients from China and Germany. In Germany, the data was collected from three RACOON sites. We trained and validated three COVID-19 AI models with different architectures: COVNet based on 2D-CNN, DeCoVnet based on 3D-CNN, and AD3D-MIL based on 3D-CNN with attention module. 991 CT scans were used for training the AI models using 5-fold cross-validation. 600 CT scans from 6 different centers were used for independent testing. The models’ performance was evaluated using accuracy (Acc), sensitivity (Se), and specificity (Sp). The average validation accuracy of the COVNet, DeCoVnet, and AD3D-MIL models over the 5 folds was 80.9%, 82.0%, and 84.3%, respectively. On the independent test set with n=600 CT scans, COVNet yielded Acc=76.6%, Se=67.8%, Sp=85.7%; DeCoVnet provided Acc=75.1%, Se=61.2%, Sp=89.7%; and AD3D-MIL achieved Acc=73.9%, Se=57.7%, Sp=90.8%. The classification performance of the evaluated AI models is highly dependent on the training data rather than the architecture itself. Our results demonstrate a high specificity and moderate sensitivity. The AI classification models should not be used unsupervised but could potentially assist radiologists in COVID-19 and nCP identification.
