For more information about how the Delft Light portable X-ray and CAD4TB solutions are used in Nigeria, please view the story of “Finding the Missing TB Cases Using DX with AI” The KNCV Nigeria Experience,’ as presented by Dr. Odume Bethrand, Executive Director of the KNCV Foundation in Nigeria. The story with presented during the 2022 Delft Imaging webinar. Dr. Bethrand also presented on “Using CAD in Bi-Directional Screening” during the 2021 webinar.
During the webinar, Dr. Odume noted: “Since 2018, KNCV Nigeria has pioneered the chest X-ray with CAD4TB in Nigeria with the ‘Wellness on Wheels’ Trucks. It has been pivotal in our targeted TB case finding and advocacy, especially within rural communities and hard-to-reach locations.
Thanks to the introduction and pilot of the Delft Light Backpack, we are scaling up digital X-ray with AI for TB case finding. The pilot helped us generated local evidence and experience, which informed country-wide scale-up by other TB partners with the National TB Program to help bridge the gap in TB case-finding in Nigeria, Digital X-ray with AI has shown efficiency in TB case finding as the number needed to screen and the test ad reduced significantly.”
The story of the iNTP project using the Delft Light X-ray and CAD4TB was also covered in a video made by Delft Imaging in collaboration with the KNCV Foundation in Nigeria.
