Patients in an ICU may receive daily chest x-rays. These x-rays are taken manually and may be at different phases of respiration, which limits their clinical usefulness. We examine design issues around automatically synchronizing an x-ray and ventilator in an interoperable manner, including requirements on the individual devices and new safety hazards introduced by connecting them into a system.

Erector Spinae Muscle to Epicardial Visceral Fat Ratio on Chest CT Predicts the Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019.

Background: Chest computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for diagnosing and predicting the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and assessing extrapulmonary organs. Reduced muscle mass and visceral fat accumulation are important features of a body composition phenotype in which obesity and muscle loss coexist, but their relationship with COVID-19 outcomes remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between the erector spinae muscle (ESM) to epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) ratio (ESM/EAT) on chest CT and disease severity in patients with COVID-19.

Objectives: To conduct a meta-analysis of the diagnostic performance of non-contrast magnetic resonance pulmonary angiography (NC-MRPA) and ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy for the detection of acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
Materials And Methods: Systematic searches of electronic databases were conducted from 2000 to 2024. Primary outcomes were per-patient sensitivity and specificity of NC-MRPA and V/Q scintigraphy.

Pulmonary vascular diseases, particularly when accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, are complex disorders often requiring multimodal imaging for diagnosis and monitoring. Echocardiography is the primary screening tool for pulmonary hypertension, while cardiac MR imaging (CMR) is used for more detailed characterization and risk stratification in right ventricular failure. Chest computed tomography (CT) is used to detect vascular anomalies and parenchymal lung diseases.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is pulmonary hypertension secondary to chronic obstruction of pulmonary arteries by organized thromboemboli. Echocardiography and Echocardiography and ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scan are the initial screening examinations for CTEPH; the diagnosis is often missed on computed tomography (CT). Imaging findings of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease overlap with those of acute pulmonary embolism, and radiologists should evaluate for the presence of concurrent chronic disease in all cases of acute pulmonary embolism detected on CT pulmonary angiography.

Department of Child Health, Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, Guangzhou Medical University, 510623, Guangzhou, China.
Background: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for early intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) to provide guidance for early intervention, thereby improving survival rates and quality of life for these vulnerable infants.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 205 ELBWIs admitted to the Women and Children's Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023. Standard head ultrasound screening (HUS) was used to assess the presence and severity of IVH on days 1-3 and 5-7 post-birth.
