Isala overcomes daily challenges with contextflow ADVANCE Chest CT More patients in the healthcare system - that's what healthcare economists predict – and that means more radiological examinations and findings. "If the predictions come true, we will have to become more efficient in what we do. I see artificial intelligence (AI) as part of...Read more

A study was conducted to assess the diagnostic performance of an AI algorithm for detecting incidental pulmonary embolus (iPE) on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations. Results show that the AI tool had a high negative predictive value (NPV) and moderate positive predictive value (PPV) for detection and was able to find some iPEs that...Read more

A study was conducted in China to evaluate the CT scan features of patients with COVID 19 pneumonia. The study looked at the CT scan imaging features in 100 COVID-19 pneumonia patients (mean age 52.3 years) without acute respiratory distress syndrome. A total of 272 CT scans were read and evaluated based on the different stages of the disease. The...Read more

With increased use of chest computed tomography (CT) in trauma valuation, traditional teachings in regard to rib fracture morbidity and mortality may no longer be accurate. New research shows that, under current chest CT imaging protocols, two thirds of rib fractures were observed on chest CT only; also, patients with rib fractures had higher admission...Read more

According to a new analysis of medical records that were gathered from more than 300 hospitalised patients, routine imaging scans used to help diagnose heart attacks generated incidental findings in over half of the patients. However, only 7% of these findings were medically significant. Researchers are thus urging imaging experts and hospitals to...Read more

According to a new study published online in Radiology, a large percentage of patients who receive radiologist recommendations for Chest CT have clinically relevant findings. The findings thus demonstrate that radiologist recommendations for additional imaging (RAIs) after chest x-rays represent valuable contributions to patient care. RAIs have...Read more
