Researchers at Seoul National University looked at how these factors might influence the detection of malignant lung nodules during AI-assisted reading of chest X-rays. Of the 120 chest radiographs assessed, 60 were from lung cancer patients (32 males) and 60 were controls (36 males). Patients had a median age of 67 years.

Clinical presentation is typically systemic or respiratory. RT-PCR Swab test A positive RT-PCR test needed for a definitive diagnosis of disease. Thus, false negatives are a real clinical problem so several negative tests might be required to be confident about excluding the disease.

This is an important and definitive line to draw. Austin Radiological Association is a premier radiology practice that serves a wide variety of hospitals and owns a good number of outpatient imaging clinics in central Texas (full disclosure: I was previously a partner at ARA). The same is true with children’s imaging.

AI algorithms appear to have clinical value based on detecting normal x-rays – that is, by flagging chest x-rays as normal versus abnormal, they may reduce reading times for radiologists, according to research presented recently at the RSNA meeting in Chicago.

A normal lactate does not rule out the diagnosis Plain X-rays perform poorly in making or ruling out the diagnosis. Take Home Points SBO should be considered in all patients presenting with abdominal pain particularly if they have a prior abdominal surgical history Patients with SBO often have non-specific signs and symptoms.

Background: Primary spontaneous pneumothorax, by definition, occurs without trauma or any underlying lung pathology. PMID: 32622394 Clinical Question: Can ambulatory management of patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax reduce the length of hospitalization? Often patients are otherwise young and healthy. 2020;396(10243):39-49.

What if X-ray imaging, the most prevalent and accessible imaging modality in the world, could provide the information needed for diagnosis? This unique study will pair X-rays of consented patients with their high-resolution CTs (HRCTs) as well as weekly forced vital capacity (FVC) readings collected via an app for home spirometry.
