Feasibility of Radiomics to Differentiate Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) from H1N1 Influenza Pneumonia on Chest Computed Tomography: A Proof of Concept
Background: Chest computed tomography (CT) plays an essential role in diagnosing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). However, CT findings are often nonspecific among different viral pneumonia conditions. The differentiation between COVID-19 and influenza can be challenging when seasonal influenza c...
