Article Synopsis
- COVID-19, which surfaced in 2019, spread quickly around the globe, and CT imaging is crucial for screening, quantifying, and staging the disease.
- Effective staging is necessary for healthcare management, such as planning for ICU beds and enhancing drug development through quick assessments.
- This study explored the use of medical imaging and AI to improve disease quantification and patient outcomes, demonstrating promising results through automated deep learning methods and combining imaging data with clinical information.
Objectives: To assess interobserver agreement and clinical significance of chest CT reporting in patients suspected of COVID-19.
Methods: From 16 to 24 March 2020, 241 consecutive patients addressed to hospital for COVID-19 suspicion had both chest CT and SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR. Eight observers (2 thoracic and 2 general senior radiologists, 2 junior radiologists, and 2 emergency physicians) retrospectively categorized each CT into one out of 4 categories (evocative, compatible for COVID-19 pneumonia, not evocative, and normal).
The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer (Onyx, Medtronic) for embolization for acute renal hemorrhage. Between October 2006 and June 2018, 24 consecutive patients were treated by embolization with EVOH copolymer for acute renal hemorrhage at Hôpital Bichat-Claude-Bernard. CT angiography was performed in all patients before treatment.

Materials And Methods: From July 2014 to March 2017, 22 consecutive patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia underwent treatment of PAVMs using microvascular plugs. The number, location, and type (simple or complex) of PAVM and the diameter of the feeding artery were assessed at angiography.
Background And Purpose: In acute ischemic stroke, whether FLAIR vascular hyperintensities represent good or poor collaterals remains controversial. We hypothesized that extensive FLAIR vascular hyperintensities correspond to good collaterals, as indirectly assessed by the hypoperfusion intensity ratio.
Materials And Methods: We included 244 consecutive patients eligible for reperfusion therapy with MCA stroke and pretreatment MR imaging with both FLAIR and PWI.
