In a multicenter retrospective study of 1529 consecutive radiographs from adult patients, depending on referral setting, between 6% and 12% of all radiographs could potentially be autonomously reported, with the highest rates in outpatients. https://t.co/SEumLlqJMA pic.twitter.com/r2yTgoUb4H

Cohort Study | One third of patients hospitalized with Covid-19 persist with lung abnormalities after 2 years
21 Feb, 2023 | 11:47h | UTCSummary: The study aimed to assess changes in chest CT abnormalities and pulmonary function in patients two years after recovery from SARS-CoV-2 infection. The prospective study followed 144 participants discharged from the hospital after SARS-CoV-2 infection between January 15 and March 10, 2020. The participants underwent serial chest CT scans and pulmonary function tests at 6 months, 12 months, and 2 years after symptom onset. The study found that 39% of participants had persistent interstitial lung abnormalities at 2 years, and this was associated with respiratory symptoms and decreased diffusion pulmonary function.

Totally unexpected! After resection of early NSCLC in 1775 pts, follow-up by ct-scan did not improve survival vs a simple chest X-Rays! We should ALWAYS questioned our practice. Amazing work from Virginie Westeel @barlesi @IFCTlung https://t.co/iMFGtpkQcF

This case-control study found computed tomography does not accurately identify pleuropulmonary blastoma in children; operative management is therefore recommended to confirm pathologic diagnosis in postnatally detected cystic lesions. https://t.co/vJ7jtpTOzr
