The approach was on-par with CT scan quality at detecting some of the most common findings associated with the disease, including lesions and ground-glass opacities, experts wrote in the Journal of MRI.

In a subset of children with positive imaging findings, however, bilateral and lower lobe-predominant ground-glass opacities are common.

Only 2% of CTAs ordered with ACR-AC categorizations of “may be appropriate” or “usually not appropriate” had imaging findings suggestive of stroke.

Scientists with one Irish hospital spelled out their concerns in a new technical report, published in Clinical Radiology.

What personal protective equipment (PPE) should be worn when transporting a hospitalized patient with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 to radiology for imaging that cannot be performed in the patient room?

Digital breast tomosynthesis did lower recall rates and improve cancer detection overall, but there was "wide variability" among individual imaging experts.
