Veritas Revolutionizes TB Diagnosis with TBDetect AI

Introduction-TB

TB Detect Test with AI

Veritas developed TBDetect AI, an advanced medical diagnostic system designed to enhance the detection and analysis of Tuberculosis (TB) using state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. It leverages a customized ResNet model to classify chest radiographs (CXR) and accurately identify TB cases.

This system integrates multiple AI-driven processes to provide reliable and efficient TB diagnosis, significantly improving upon traditional diagnostic methods.

Challenges of Development in AI TB Test

The global burden of Tuberculosis (TB) remains substantial, with millions of new cases and deaths each year, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Despite advancements in healthcare, current diagnostic methods for TB are often slow, resource-intensive, and lack precision. The main challenges included:

  • Slow and Inconsistent Diagnostics: Traditional diagnostic techniques such as sputum microscopy and culture take days to weeks to yield results, delaying treatment initiation.
  • Dependence on Radiologist Expertise: Radiographic examination of chest X-rays (CXR) heavily relies on the expertise of radiologists, leading to potential misinterpretations and missed diagnoses.
  • Resource Constraints: Many regions with high TB burdens face shortages of trained radiologists and specialized laboratory facilities, limiting the availability of accurate diagnostics.

Our Strategy of AI TB Detect Test Development

Developing an AI-Driven Classification Model:

Created a custom AI model to accurately classify chest X-ray images into TB-positive or TB-negative categories.

Enhancing Image Quality:

Implemented comprehensive pre-processing steps to improve the quality of X-ray images.

Conducting Rigorous Validation:

Ensured reliable diagnostic outcomes by rigorously testing and validating the model using performance metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, F1-Score, and AUC-ROC.

Roadblocks in Development of TB Detect AI

  • Limited Accuracy of Traditional Diagnostic Methods:


Traditional methods for TB diagnosis are often slow and lack precision, leading to delayed treatment and potential misdiagnosis.

  • Resource Constraints:

Many regions with high TB burdens face shortages of trained radiologists and specialized laboratory facilities, limiting the availability of accurate diagnostics.

  • Inconsistent Image Quality:

Variations in the quality of chest X-ray images due to noise and poor contrast make it challenging to obtain accurate diagnostic results.
