Virtual Reality visualization for computerized COVID-19 lesion segmentation and interpretation.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a severe infectious disease that causes respiratory illness and has had devastating medical and economic consequences globally. Therefore, early, and precise diagnosis is critical to control disease progression and management. Compared to the very popular RT-PCR (reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction) method, chest CT imaging is a more consistent, sensible, and fast approach for identifying and managing infected COVID-19 patients, specifically in the epidemic area.

History shows that the infectious disease (COVID-19) can stun the world quickly, causing massive losses to health, resulting in a profound impact on the lives of billions of people, from both a safety and an economic perspective, for controlling the COVID-19 pandemic. The best strategy is to provide early intervention to stop the spread of the disease. In general, Computer Tomography (CT) is used to detect tumors in pneumonia, lungs, tuberculosis, emphysema, or other pleura (the membrane covering the lungs) diseases.
