Iran Press/ Iran News: "The advantage of this system is that it is so exact and specialized in diagnosing COVID-19. Also, when we have a large number of people in hospitals or we do not have access to a radiologist, this system can help as a doctor. This tool can be used as a remote technique and it is ahead of all other versions of the world. Artificial intelligence has been used in this technique," the head of the Headquarters for the Management of Operations Against Coronavirus Alireza Zali said during the ceremony on Saturday.
