A round up of this week s coronavirus-related news and countermeasures from the photonics industry.
Icovid was set up in March, 2020, by UZ Brussel, KU Leuven, icometrix and ETRO, an imec research group of VUB. Professor Jef Vandemeulebroucke of ETRO commented, âWhat started as a local project is now being rolled out in 800 hospitals in Europe and supported by excellent research centers all over Europe.
âWith icolung, we can detect Covid-19 patients at an early stage and quantify the extent of lung lesions. Meanwhile, we are further improving the AI software to identify lung damage from Covid-19 even more quickly, and to determine the further care path of the patient faster and better through prognostic models.â

(SAN ANTONIO, February 4, 2020) - The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) received a technology grant via special discounts from Dell Technologies to support advanced technologies and a new research infrastructure platform at the university. Through the substantial savings to UTSA, this technology grant enables and supports UTSA s ability to attract leading research scholars and students. With the grant, UTSA invested in a hybrid cloud approach that utilizes solutions from Dell Technologies to help deliver research in data science and cybersecurity.
With the support of the technology grant, UTSA will invest in a broad range of Dell Technologies infrastructure solutions, including servers, storage, networking and data protection, that will serve as the foundation of all research produced at the solutions institution. This includes several of the latest Dell Technologies innovations ranging from a high performance computing system (HPC) for data and compute intensive
Icovid rolled out across Europe
Icovid, which was set up in March by UZ Brussel, KU Leuven, icometrix, VUB and Imec is now being rolled out in 800 hospitals in Europe and supported by research centres all over Europe.
“With icolung, we can detect COVID-19 patients at an early stage and quantify the extent of lung lesions,” says Professor Jef Vandemeulebroucke of ETRO, “meanwhile, we are further improving the AI software to identify lung damage from COVID-19 even more quickly, and to determine the further care path of the patient faster and better through prognostic models.”
The icovid project was launched in March 2020 as a Belgian pro bono initiative. Icometrix, which specializes in AI solutions for medical images, partnered with UZ Brussel, KU Leuven, VUB and imec to investigate how to deploy lung scans in the COVID pandemic and what AI software would be needed to do so. The AI tool icolung was born.
