Abstract
A method for detecting a virus in a patient based on imaging data includes scanning a region of interest of the patient with an imaging device and generating imaging data indicative of the region of interest, identifying at least one marker in the image data that corresponds to the virus based on the identified at least one marker and a set of predetermined imageable markers that correspond to the virus, classifying the virus as a particular strain of the virus based on a set of classification rules, and generating a signal indicative of the particular strain. The method optionally includes generating a signal indicative of the classification and electronically conveying the signal to at least one entity.
