Abstract Chest X-rays (CXRs) are the first-line investigation in patients presenting to emergency departments (EDs) with dyspnoea and a valuable adjunct clinical management of COVID-19 associated lung disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) has potential facilitate rapid triage CXRs for further patient testing and/or isolation. In this work we develop an AI algorithm, CovIx, differentiate normal, abnormal, non-COVID-19 pneumonia, using multicentre cohort 293,143 CXRs. The algorithm is...

Objective The aim of this study was to determine if texture analysis can classify liver observations likely be hepatocellular carcinoma based on the Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) using single portal venous phase computed tomography. Methods This research ethics board–approved retrospective cohort included 64 consecutive LI-RADS observations. Individual observation features were compared Kruskal-Wallis 2 sample t tests. Logistic regression used for prediction group....

In this case report, we present a of hitherto undescribed "pseudoembryo" appearance in fluid-filled endometrial cavity ectopic pregnancy. Knowledge sonographic finding is clinically important, since the presence could lead to misidentification pseudogestational sac as an intrauterine pregnancy setting This paper discuss reviews and imaging findings which differentiate it from true gestation.
Objective The COVID-19 pandemic had an undoubted impact on the provision of elective and emergency cancer care, including diagnosis management patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our aim was to determine effects HCC in West Scotland. Design This a retrospective audit prospectively collated database presented Scotland Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) between April October 2020 (during pandemic), comparing baseline demographics, characteristics disease at presentation, diagnostic workup,...
