COVID-19 assisted diagnosis
The COVID-19 assisted diagnosis feature supports the pay-as-you-go billing method. The pricing is as follows.
Calls | Price | QPS limit |
0 < Calls (per month) ≤ 500 | 2.4 CNY/call | 2 QPS |
500 < Calls (per month) ≤ 3,000 | 1.2 CNY/call | |
Calls (per month) > 3,000 | 0.6 CNY/call |
For example, if you upload a batch of DICOM images for detection and retrieve the results, you are charged for one call. If you upload another batch of DICOM images for detection, you are charged for another call.
Failed calls are not billed.

Chest CT lung nodule detection
The Chest CT lung nodule detection feature supports the pay-as-you-go billing method. The pricing is as follows.
Calls | Price | QPS limit |
0 < Calls (per month) ≤ 500 | 2.4 CNY/call | 2 QPS |
500 < Calls (per month) ≤ 3,000 | 1.2 CNY/call | |
Calls (per month) > 3,000 | 0.6 CNY/call |
Failed calls are not billed.

Chest CT plain scan screening
The Chest CT plain scan screening feature supports the pay-as-you-go billing method. The pricing is as follows.
Calls | Price | QPS limit |
0 < Calls (per month) ≤ 500 | 2.4 CNY/call | 2 QPS |
500 < Calls (per month) ≤ 3,000 | 1.2 CNY/call | |
Calls (per month) > 3,000 | 0.6 CNY/call |
The Chest CT plain scan screening feature is billed based on the number of successful calls to the underlying features, which are determined by the input Mask parameter. For example, if you set Mask to 31 (binary 11111), the system calls five algorithms: COVID-19 assisted diagnosis, coronary artery calcification scoring, chest CT lung nodule detection, rib fracture detection, and aortic aneurysm and pulmonary hypertension detection. This counts as five calls in total. Only the calls for COVID-19 assisted diagnosis and chest CT lung nodule detection are billed. The other three are free of charge. The billing is calculated as follows: (2.4 CNY/call × 2 calls) + (0 CNY/call × 3 calls) = 4.8 CNY. For more information about parameter settings, see Chest CT plain scan screening.
Mask | Corresponding binary number | Corresponding bit position in binary (from low to high) | Description | Charges |
1 | 00000001 | 1 | The first bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the COVID-19 assisted diagnosis algorithm. | Billed |
2 | 00000010 | 2 | The second bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the coronary artery calcification scoring algorithm. | Free |
4 | 00000100 | 3 | The third bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the chest CT lung nodule detection algorithm. | Billed |
8 | 00001000 | 4 | The fourth bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the rib fracture detection algorithm. | Free |
16 | 00010000 | 5 | The fifth bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the aortic aneurysm and pulmonary hypertension detection algorithm. | Free |
32 | 00100000 | 6 | The sixth bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the lymph node detection algorithm. | Free |
64 | 01000000 | 7 | The seventh bit of the binary number is 1. This enables the pancreatic cancer detection algorithm. | Free |
Failed calls are not billed.
