The efforts made to prevent the spread of COVID-19 face specific challenges in diagnosing COVID-19 patients and differentiating them from patients with pulmonary edema.

This study proposes a machine learning-based method (EDECOVID-net) that automatically differentiates the COVID-19 symptoms from pulmonary edema in lung CT scans using radiomic features.
