Background Chest radiography has not been validated for its prognostic utility in evaluating patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Purpose To analyze the value of a chest radiograph severity scoring system younger (nonelderly) COVID-19 at initial presentation to emergency department (ED); outcomes interest included hospitalization, intubation, prolonged stay, sepsis, and death. Materials Methods In this retrospective study, between ages 21 50 years who presented ED an urban...
Objective Concern for thoracolumbar spine (TLS) injuries after major trauma mandates immobilization pending radiographic evaluation. Current protocols use standard posteroanterior and lateral radiographs of the (XR/TLS), but many patients also undergo abdominal or thoracic computed tomographic (CT) scanning. We sought to evaluate whether helical truncal CT scanning performed visceral images as well dedicated XR/TLS. Methods prospectively studied 222 consecutive sustaining high-risk requiring...
Purpose To train a deep learning classification algorithm to predict chest radiograph severity scores and clinical outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Materials Methods In this retrospective cohort study, aged 21–50 years who presented the emergency department (ED) of multicenter urban health system from March 10 26, 2020, COVID-19 confirmation at real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction screening were identified. The initial radiographs,...
The purposes of this study were to determine the prevalence interstitial lung disease (ILD) in a cohort undergoing low-dose CT screening for cancer, identify patterns fibrosis, and prognostic factors progression.The drew from database 951 participants cancer program between 2010 2014. Three thoracic radiologists reviewed scans ILD findings, defined as traction bronchiectasis, ground-glass opacities with reticulations honeycombing. Evidence was considered present if at least two three...
Objective Bronchiolitis obliterans, when not associated with organizing intraalveolar pneumonia or extensive peribronchiolar fibrosis, is often difficult to distinguish clinically and radiographically from other forms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The aim this study was demonstrate a pattern on high-resolution CT (HRCT) that could suggest diagnosis. Materials Methods Two patients clinical diagnosis bronchiolitis moderate-to-severe obstruction function tests, normal chest...
Objective: To describe the characteristics and outcomes of HIV-infected patients with biopsy-proven cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia. Design: Retrospective study. Setting: A 900-bed acute care facility in New York City. Patients: Eighteen pathologically confirmed CMV inclusions lung tissue without other pathogens 36 control Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) selected for comparisons by computer-generated random sequential numbers. Main outcome measures: Demographic, clinical, laboratory,...
Background: COVID-19 patients requiring mechanical ventilation may develop significant pneumomediastinum and sub-cutaneous emphysema without associated pneumothorax (SWAP). Prophylactic chest tube placement or sub-fascial "blowholes" are usually recommended to prevent tension clinical decline. Risk of iatrogenic lung injury release virus into the environment is high. Incidence conservative management data such barotraumatic complications during pandemic lacking. Methods: All with mediastinal...
Primary mesenchymal intrathoracic tumors are unusual. They can originate from the lung, pleura, or mediastinal structures. These sarcomas have protean, nonspecific imaging features. This pictorial essay illustrates a large number of these tumors, describes plain film findings, and emphasizes contribution new modalities. The cross-sectional display high contrast resolution computed tomography (CT) ability to image vascular structures chest wall with magnetic resonance (MR) allow excellent...

An 81-year-old man with a productive cough was found to have multiple bilateral pulmonary nodules and referred for biopsy. Under computed tomography guidance, fine-needle aspiration of right lower lobe nodule led diagnosis lung adenocarcinoma (Figure 1). A small pneumothorax developed on the and, despite fact that left mediastinum were not manipulated during procedure, extended into hemithorax. Both pneumothoraces resolved without intervention. “Buffalo chest” is term derived from animal’s...
BackgroundChest radiography (CXR) often is performed in the acute setting to help understand extent of respiratory disease patients with COVID-19, but a clearly defined role for negative chest radiograph results assessing has not been described.Research QuestionIs portable CXR an effective exclusionary test future adverse clinical outcomes suspected having COVID-19?Study Design and MethodsCharts consecutive COVID-19 at five EDs New York City between March 19, 2020, April 23, were reviewed....
