Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are parenchymal lung changes found on high-resolution CT. In routine use of high-resolution CT, non-specific findings are frequently reported, which has prompted ...

Are CT scans silently triggering a cancer epidemic — or are we being misled by speculative modeling and media-fueled fear? A ...

Chest x-ray: Your chest may be x-rayed to see if cancer has spread to your lungs. Computed tomography (CT): CT scans are usually done if the tumor is larger or if there is concern about cancer spread.

In conclusion, in a population of 200 patients with chest and abdominal stab wounds, eFAST does not accurately detect PTX when compared with CT scan. eFAST can accurately detect cardiac tamponade and ...

Twenty-four cancers were diagnosed in the 30 patients who had CT findings suspicious of cancer. Among the 57 patients with abnormal CT scan not suggestive of malignancy, 30 did show unsuspected ...

Adults (≥ 18 years old) with incidental lung nodules detected during CT imaging (chest, abdomen, coronary calcium score) OR patients that meet the USPSTF lung cancer screening criteria: adults aged 50 ...

Instead, we use the plain chest radiograph as the main decision-maker in most patients. If abnormal findings, such as opacities, atalectasis, or pleural effusions exist, CTA is recommended. If the ...

A chest X-ray delivers around 0.1 mSv (millisievert) of radiation, while a CT scan can deliver around 10 mSv, which is 70 to 100 times more radiation in one scan.

Furthermore, our sample included a small number of patients with severe COVID-19, resulting in fewer abnormal PFT results and fibrotic-like changes on chest CT scans.

A chest X-ray alone cannot confirm cancer. For this reason, a computerized tomography (CT) scan will also be ordered if cancer is suspected. This type of scan can better visualize tumors, their size ...

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform an external validation of two clinical decision instruments (DIs) - Chest CT-All and Chest CT-Major - in a cohort of patients with blunt chest trauma undergoing chest CT ...

Research on classifying chest CT scans as normal or abnormal using machine learning and deep learning has garnered significant attention. To address this, various feature selection (FS) methods are ...
