Article Synopsis
- * Researchers suggest that bedside computed X-ray (CXR) images can provide additional predictive value for patient outcomes post-mechanical ventilation, using deep transfer learning to analyze features from a dataset of COVID-19 ICU patients.
- * Their model, which includes CXR data, achieved a better predictive accuracy (0.743 AUC) compared to models based solely on traditional risk factors, indicating that high-quality images further enhance prediction performance.
Objective: To assess the prevalence and clinical significance of incidental findings identified during computed tomography imaging of coronary artery bypass grafts.
Results: This prospective study includes 144 patients undergoing coronary graft patency assessment using computed tomography. Incidental findings were classified as significant if they were considered to need an immediate action or treatment, short-term work-up or follow-up, or minor.
Background Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) allows the evaluation of coronary plaque volume and low attenuation (lipid-rich) component, for plaque vulnerability assessment. Purpose To determine the effect of iterative reconstruction (IR) on coronary plaque volume and composition. Material and Methods Consecutive patients without coronary artery disease were prospectively enrolled for 256-slice CT.
