Introduction: The objective of this study was to evaluate the intra- and inter-rater agreement of radiologists regarding the evaluation of breast density.
Methodology: Breast density assessments of 120 cases were performed by four radiologists in the city of Ouagadougou according to the fifth edition of the American College of Radiology BI-RADS atlas. Cohen's weighted kappa coefficients and Fleiss kappa coefficients were used to estimate agreement between observers and with a panel of three experts radiologists.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, finding an 18.4% prevalence among 239 patients.
- Common symptoms included dyspnea (58.6%), cough (56.1%), and chest pain (40.2%), and many patients underwent chest CT angiography without prior D-dimer testing.
- The research concluded that elevated D-dimer levels significantly correlate with the incidence of pulmonary embolism, indicating the importance of using both CT angiography and D-dimer levels for diagnosis.
Objective: To study the chest CT profile of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia in patients in the city of Ouagadougou.
Patients And Methods: descriptive cross-sectional study with retrospective collection of 1017 patients of both sexes. Included were patients aged 15 and over who had performed a chest CT scan without or with injection of contrast product, suspected or positive for COVID -19.
