With more than 900 000 confirmed cases worldwide and nearly 50 deaths during the first 3 months of 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emerged as an unprecedented health care crisis. The spread COVID-19 been heterogeneous, resulting in some regions having sporadic transmission relatively few hospitalized patients with others community that led to overwhelming numbers severe cases. For these regions, delivery disrupted compromised by critical resource constraints diagnostic...
Background: Pacemakers and implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) are widely used for the management of arrhythmias congestive heart failure (CHF). Acute implantation complication rates range from 3% to 7%. The aim this study is describe incidence lead perforation on computed tomography (CT), correlate these findings with electrophysiologic data. Methods: Images 100 consecutive patients permanent pacemakers (n = 72) or ICDs 28) who underwent multidetector CTs chest were identified. Cases...
To assess for change in the 1990s failure of detection at chest radiography potentially resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lesions compared with experience previous decade.From 1993 to 2001, an observational cohort was identified that consisted 40 instances NSCLC evident retrospectively but undetected by a radiologist time when cure. Sizes and locations tumors were assessed. Pearson chi(2) testing performed compare sex distribution present series population data United States...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure greater than 20 mm Hg and classified into five different groups sharing similar pathophysiologic mechanisms, hemodynamic characteristics, therapeutic management. Radiologists play key role in the multidisciplinary assessment management of PH. A working group was formed from within Fleischner Society based on expertise imaging and/or patients with PH, as well experience methodologies systematic reviews. The identified...

To systematically describe the imaging features and clinical correlates of a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection diagnosed on computed tomography (CT) in adults.Twenty-nine adults with CT were retrospectively identified. There 19 women 10 men, mean age 53 (range: 19-83) years. Four cases identified by review 1825 consecutive chest reports from July 2000-July 2001, 25 culled radiology teaching files at 3 institutions.

To describe the radiologic and clinical findings in a group of patients with exogenous lipoid pneumonia focusing on features that differentiate acute chronic presentations.We retrospectively identified 15 from single institution 1992-2001. Inclusion criteria were: imaging chest CT either diagnostic or intrapulmonary lipids pathologic examination. Each chart was reviewed for presentation, history ingestion/exposure, predisposing factors, treatment response to therapy. Initial (n = 13)...
To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of normal, variant, anomalous branching patterns aortic arch central veins on computed tomographic (CT) angiography in adults.We retrospectively reviewed 1000 consecutive CT angiograms chest 658 women 342 men with a median age 53 years.A total 65.9% patients had both normal venous anatomy. Variants pattern were present 32.4% anomalies 1.5%. Venous 0.7%. Review reports showed that cardiothoracic radiologists correctly reported anomaly more...

The role of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) in the management symptomatic patients suspected having artery disease is expanding. However, prospective intermediate-term outcomes are lacking.To compare CCTA with conventional noninvasive testing.Randomized, controlled comparative effectiveness trial.

Findings in patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous needle biopsy (n = 131) of lung are described. In those whom the traversed aerated lung, complications developed 51% (40 79). The rate pneumothorax was 46% (36 did not traverse 52), minor hemoptysis one patient (2%) only complication (P less than .0001). When a CT-guided does likelihood appears to be slight.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability contrast-enhanced CT detect acute myocardial infarction (MI), which has not been systematically assessed. On helical chest CT, we retrospectively identified 18 patients (10 women, eight men; mean age, 66 years) with an initial MI. Each patient underwent single-detector within 1 month after MI between March 2001 and June 2002.Acute is detectable on as area decreased left ventricular enhancement in a specific coronary arterial distribution.
For the past 4 decades, ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scan interpretation for pulmonary embolism (PE) was performed using probability-based assessments, which were neither well-received nor well-understood by many clinicians. Recently, we combined normal, very low probability, and low-probability interpretations in emergency department patients found a false-negative (FN) rate of 1.2% on follow-up. Afterward, transitioned to new trinary interpretative strategy: no PE, PE present,...
