Background Despite its high sensitivity in diagnosing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) a screening population, the chest CT appearance of COVID-19 pneumonia is thought to be nonspecific. Purpose To assess performance radiologists United States and China differentiating from viral at CT. Materials Methods In this study, 219 patients with positive COVID-19, as determined reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) abnormal findings, were retrospectively identified seven Chinese...
To examine whether incorrect AI results impact radiologist performance, and if so, human factors can be optimized to reduce error. Multi-reader design, 6 radiologists interpreted 90 identical chest radiographs (follow-up CT needed: yes/no) on four occasions (09/20-01/22). No result was provided for session 1. Sham were sessions 2-4, 12 cases manipulated (8 false positives (FP), 4 negatives (FN)) (0.87 ROC-AUC). In the Delete (No Box) condition, told would not saved evaluation. Keep (Box),...
Pre-treatment FDG-PET/CT scans were analyzed with machine learning to predict progression of lung malignancies and overall survival (OS). A retrospective review across three institutions identified patients a pre-procedure an associated malignancy diagnosis. Lesions manually automatically segmented, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained using inputs progression. Performance was evaluated area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), accuracy, sensitivity, specificity....
While COVID-19 diagnosis and prognosis artificial intelligence models exist, very few can be implemented for practical use given their high risk of bias. We aimed to develop a model that addresses notable shortcomings prior studies, integrating it into fully automated triage pipeline examines chest radiographs the presence, severity, progression pneumonia. Scans were collected using DICOM Image Analysis Archive, system communicates with hospital's image repository. The authors over 6,500...
Purpose To retrospectively identify the incidence and probable risk factors for rib fractures after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) microwave (MWA) of neoplasms in lung to complications related these fractures. Materials Methods Institutional review board approval was obtained this HIPAA-compliant retrospective study. Study population 163 patients treated with MWA and/or RFA 195 between February 2004 April 2010. Follow-up computed tomographic images at least 3 months were reviewed...
In-situ thrombosis of the pulmonary artery is a filling defect in and often mislabeled as most common cause defect, an embolism. Thrombus in-situ has been associated with chronic pleural effusions, resections, infections other souces inflammation, it not described occuring rounded atelectasis. Herein, we present rare case thrombus adjacent to atelectasis; this underscores necessity for careful assessment advocates heightened awareness differential diagnosis when assessing embolisms.
Limited data exist on cancer screening in carceral facilities. This study evaluates the feasibility and outcomes of a population-based lung initiative setting. is retrospective review event at Rhode Island Department Corrections. Sentenced individuals meeting U.S. Preventive Services Task Force age criteria for were mailed letter asking about their smoking history. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) scans offered to who responded met criteria. Retrospective analyses examined patients' LDCT...
Background Differences in clinical presentation and outcomes among patients infected with pandemic 2009 influenza A H1N1 (pH1N1) compared to other respiratory viruses have not been fully elucidated. Methodology/Principal Findings retrospective study was performed of all hospitalized at the peak pH1N1 season whom a single virus detected by molecular assay targeting 18 viruses/subtypes (RVP, Luminex xTAG). Fifty-two percent (615/1192) from October, December, had (291 pH1N1; 207 rhinovirus; 45...
Occupational exposure to indium compounds, including indium-tin oxide, can result in potentially fatal lung disease. However, the early effects of on lungs are not well understood. To determine relationship between short-term occupational exposures compounds and development abnormalities. Among oxide production reclamation facility workers, we measured plasma indium, respiratory symptoms, pulmonary function, chest computed tomography, serum biomarkers Relationships concentration health...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Incentive spirometry (IS) is widely used to prevent postoperative pulmonary complications, despite limited clinical effectiveness data and a lack of standardized use protocols. We sought evaluate health care professionals9 perspectives on IS procedures. <h3>METHODS:</h3> An online survey was distributed via social media newsletters relevant national nursing respiratory societies. Attitudes concerning were compared between the American Association for Respiratory Care...
BACKGROUND. Treatment options for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) who develop stage I-II non-small cell cancer (NSCLC) are severely limited, given that surgical resection, radiation, and systemic therapy associated significant morbidity mortality. OBJECTIVE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety efficacy percutaneous ablation NSCLC in ILD. METHODS. This retrospective included ILD treated three health systems between October 2004 February 2023. At each site, a single...
Incentive spirometers (ISs) were developed to reduce atelectasis and are in widespread clinical use. However, without IS use adherence data, the effectiveness of cannot be determined. To evaluate effect a use-tracking reminder on patient outcomes following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. This randomized trial was conducted from June 5, 2017, December 29, at tertiary referral teaching hospital included 212 patients who underwent CABG, whom 160 participants (intent treat), with...
Despite largely unproven clinical effectiveness, incentive spirometry (IS) is widely used in an effort to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications. The objective of the study evaluate financial impact implementing IS. amount time nurses and RTs spend each day doing IS-related activities was assessed utilizing online survey distributed relevant national nursing respiratory therapists (RT) societies along with questionnaire that prospectively collected every for 4 weeks at a single 10-bed...
