A practical approach to imaging characteristics and standardized reporting of COVID-19: a radiologic review.

Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV), also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is a pathogen that has caused a rapidly spreading pandemic all over the world. The primary mean of transmission is inhalation with a predilection for respiratory system involvement, especially in the distal airways. The disease that arises from this novel coronavirus is named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Predictive value of CT imaging findings in COVID-19 pneumonia at the time of first-screen regarding the need for hospitalization or intensive care unit.

Purpose: In this study, we aimed to reveal the relationship between initial lung parenchymal involvement patterns and the subsequent need for hospitalization and/or intensive care unit admission in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) positive cases.

Methods: Overall, 231 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 as proven by PCR were included in this study. Based on the duration of hospitalization, patients were divided into three groups as follows: Group 1, patients receiving outpatient treatment or requiring hospitalization <7 days; Group 2, requiring hospitalization ≥7 days; Group 3, patients requiring at least 1 day of intensive care at any time.

Cerebellar lesions in the acute setting of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Bilateral globus pallidus and supratentorial white matter injury are common findings in the acute and chronic setting of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning. However, isolated cerebellar lesions are extremely rare. In this case report, we shared our findings in siblings with cerebellar injury with different imaging patterns in the acute setting of CO poisoning.

Cerebrospinal fluid flow imaging by using phase-contrast MR technique.

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces include ventricles and cerebral and spinal subarachnoid spaces. CSF motion is a combined effect of CSF production rate and superimposed cardiac pulsations. Knowledge of CSF dynamics has benefited considerably from the development of phase-contrast (PC) MRI.
