it's important to put the risk into perspective. Relative to most diagnostic imaging tests, a chest X-ray uses a small amount of radiation. One chest X-ray exposes you to 0.1 millisievert (mSv). People are exposed to 0.1 mSv over 10 days in their natural environment.6 ...
A Chest x-ray is obtained either in a physician's office or in the hospital. To obtain a standard PA or postero-anterior view (it is called postero-anterior because the x-ray beam comes from the posterior or back and moves through the chest to the anterior or front). The patient is ...
Chest X-Ray Mary Ella Round Key Points • Chest x-ray is perhaps the simplest radiologic test, and yet it is highly valuable, as it can be used to diagnose and assess the severity of cardiovascular diseases and the response to therapy. • Optimal image acquisition is essential for ...
Cost-Effectiveness of Chest X-Ray Follow-Up of Patients Treated for Seminoma of the Testis: Cost-Effectiveness of Chest X-Ray Follow-Up of Patients Treated for Seminoma of the Testis:The authors report on a consecutive series of 253 cases of seminoma of the testis followed with periodic ...
COVID-19 has affected over 600 million people globally, leading to a surge in demand for rapid and accurate diagnostic tools, especially for respiratory conditions like COVID-19, pneumonia, and lung opacity. Chest X-ray (CXR) imaging, being widely available and cost-effective, has been ...
Chest X-Ray (CXR) is a low-cost, widely available, practical screening technique in the diagnosis of multiple pulmonary diseases, like pneumonia, which is among the top infectious causes of death for children around the world1. Recently, CXRs have been massively used for detecting and monitoring...
Chest X-ray (CXR) technology has become the initial imaging examination method for chest abnormalities because of its low cost and simple operating procedure1. The large number of CXRs generated worldwide are interpreted individually by radiologists, which requires considerable time and effort and incr...
appropriate field size for different patients, reducing both the radiation dose to patients and the workload of radiographers — freeing them to provide a higher level of care. In addition, the appropriate collimation field size can reduce the influence of X-ray scatter and improve image quality....
If fine-tuned pre-trained CNNs can provide equivalent or better classification results than other more sophisticated CNNs, then the deployment of AI-based tools for detecting COVID-19 using chest X-ray data can be more rapid and cost-effective. Methods Three pretrained CNNs, which are ...
