The developed technology is based on an artificial intelligence image analysis system using deep neural networks, which can automatically help identify signs of 14 pulmonary diseases (including coronavirus pneumonia). The advantages of the developed technology include high accuracy, which\u2014according to tests on X-ray images for certain lung diseases\u2014demonstrates accuracy higher than that of expert radiologists (>90%), and an X-ray image processing time of less than 5 seconds. This is approximately 100\u2013700 times faster than human interpretation, making the early detection (screening) of lung disease symptoms more efficient while maintaining high accuracy.

The project was carried out in 2000\u20132001. In cooperation with the RADMIR Research Institute (Kharkiv), technologies were developed, and multi-element linear ultrasonic sensors with 64 elements were designed and manufactured for Ukraine\u2019s first medical ultrasound scanner \u201cUltima.\u201d A technology was created and a new class of ultrasonic linear sensors with dynamic focusing for medical ultrasound scanners (192\u2013256 elements) was substantiated, providing a spatial resolution of 0.3\u20131 mm. The obtained results correspond to the best international examples from leading companies such as Aloka (Japan) and General Electric (USA), where device prices range from 4,000 to 40,000 USD per unit. This work enabled the development of competitive domestic diagnostic ultrasound equipment. Within the same project, technologies for ferroelectric memory devices based on thin films of lead zirconate titanate integrated with CMOS semiconductor structures were developed. A new direction for non-destructive readout memory devices was substantiated and studied. Compared to destructive-readout ferroelectric memory (FRAM), developed in the USA by Ramtron, the proposed approach enables performance improvement, achieving access times of 1\u20134 ns instead of 20\u201340 ns.
