The introducing New Tools Project (iNTP) has supported the introduction and scale-up of computer-aided detection (CAD) technology in 7 countries globally to assist with TB detection. Recommended by WHO for use in people aged 15 years and older, CAD uses artificial intelligence to identify signs of TB in chest X-rays and therefore provides decision support to clinical staff reading chest X-rays. CAD products are available online and offline, and can be used in the absence of radiologists, to assist active case finding activities in the field in conjunction with the ultraportable digital X-ray systems and Truenat systems provided under the Project.
Visit the Country Experiences page to learn more about how these CAD products have been introduced under the project.
