Practical clinical and radiological models to diagnose COVID-19 based on a multicentric teleradiological emergency chest CT cohort.

Our aim was to develop practical models built with simple clinical and radiological features to help diagnosing Coronavirus disease 2019 [COVID-19] in a real-life emergency cohort. To do so, 513 consecutive adult patients suspected of having COVID-19 from 15 emergency departments from 2020-03-13 to 2020-04-14 were included as long as chest CT-scans and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) results were available (244 [47.6%] with a positive RT-PCR).

The accuracy of teleradiologists in diagnosing COVID-19 based on a French multicentric emergency cohort.

Objectives: To evaluate the accuracy of diagnoses of COVID-19 based on chest CT as well as inter-observer agreement between teleradiologists during on-call duty and senior radiologists in suspected COVID-19 patients.

Materials And Methods: From March 13, 2020, to April 14, 2020, consecutive suspected COVID-19 adult patients who underwent both an RT-PCR test and chest CT from 15 hospitals were included in this prospective study. Chest CTs were immediately interpreted by the on-call teleradiologist and were systematically blind reviewed by a senior radiologist.

MRI of Reperfused Acute Myocardial Infarction Edema: ADC Quantification versus T1 and T2 Mapping.

Background After acute myocardial infarction (AMI), reperfusion injury is associated with microvascular lesions and myocardial edema. Purpose To evaluate the performance of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) quantification compared with T1 and T2 values in the detection of acute myocardial injury. Materials and Methods In this prospective study conducted from June 2016 to November 2018, participants without a history of heart failure or cardiomyopathy were enrolled after undergoing reperfusion for their first AMI.
