COVID Detection and Severity Prediction with 3D-ConvNeXt and Custom Pretrainings

30 Jun 2022  ·  Daniel Kienzle, Julian Lorenz, Robin Schön, Katja Ludwig, Rainer Lienhart ·

Since COVID strongly affects the respiratory system, lung CT-scans can be used for the analysis of a patients health. We introduce a neural network for the prediction of the severity of lung damage and the detection of a COVID-infection using three-dimensional CT-data. Therefore, we adapt the recent ConvNeXt model to process three-dimensional data. Furthermore, we design and analyze different pretraining methods specifically designed to improve the models ability to handle three-dimensional CT-data. We rank 2nd in the 1st COVID19 Severity Detection Challenge and 3rd in the 2nd COVID19 Detection Challenge.
