Fujifilm India in association with Sakra World Hospital Bengaluru has initiated new technology in diagnosing chest CT of COVID-19 patients to support India in its fight against the global pandemic - COVID -19.

 Newly Launched COVID -19 Pneumonia Image Analysis Program
Fujifilm India Private Limited, a pioneer in imaging technologies has recently joined hands with Bengaluru-based Sakra World Hospital to assist doctors in diagnosing the possibility of COVID-19 pneumonia among patients with the help of new AI-enabled software.
This association has been borne out of Fujifilm India’s campaign “COVID-19 Pneumonia Image Analysis Program” which helps in diagnosing chest CT images of COVID-19 patients.

The COVID-19 -AI-enabled software “COVID-19 Pneumonia Image Analysis Program” by Fujifilm India is a software that has strengthened India’s fight towards COVID-19.

The technology automatically analyses the chest CT images and displays the results which assist doctors in diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia and ultimately saving human lives.

Additionally, SYNAPSE 3D, a workstation system visualizes and analyzes high-precision 3D images from tomographic images such as CT and MRI by utilizing Fujifilm India’s image recognition technology.

The spread of the new Coronavirus infection has been overwhelming in hospitals. So, for better diagnosis of the occurrence of COVID-19 among patients, chest CT is conducted in addition to PCR/Antigen tests at the time of hospitalization or emergencies .

While the burden of these tests is increasing, there is a dire need for solutions that support efficient tests and accurate diagnostic imaging, especially for patients with post-COVID lung management issues.
