This is a clinical photo gallery of fetal imaging that explains what all can be seen on medical imaging, how sex is determined, how measurements are used to track the development of a baby.
Preventing sudden cardiac arrest involves managing risk factors such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia and diabetes. We spoke to Christina Albert, MD, about this and much more at ESC 2023.
Serious discrepancies between preliminary imaging reads and final radiology reports are at risk of accumulating when the prelims are rendered during overnight hours.
Incorporating lung lobe involvement and changes in computed tomography findings into the scoring framework can help clinicians make a timlier diagnosis for patients with the new virus.
Middle-aged and elderly patients had a higher number of lesions on their chest images, along with more severe lung abnormalities, compared to those younger than 18 years old.

A group of Chinese physicians tracked lung abnormality changes in five patients from hospital admission to discharge, sharing their findings in the Korean Journal of Radiology.
The results shouldn't encourage physicians to use the modality for screening patients, but authors said its sensitivity is "unquestionable" and use "encouraged" in specific situations.
The American College of Radiology offered up imaging suggestions for healthcare facilities and said efforts required to eliminate contamination in exam rooms could lead to "substantial problems for patient care."
Radiologists should "become familiar" with the CT findings of COVID-19 and the shortcoming of chest radiographs when evaluating potential cases, researchers wrote in the Korean Journal of Radiology.
