2% of cardiologists provided cardiovascular MRI services. A total of 3.2% of radiologists and 0.5% of cardiologists provided cardiovascular CT services. Both cardiovascular MRI use (+75.5%) and cardiovascular CT use (+97.4%) increased markedly over the 6-year study period. Although the availability of cardiovascular MRI and CT is increasing, both are used less frequently in comparison with other cardiovascular imaging modalities.See also the commentary by Bierhals in this issue. © RSNA, 2021.

To compare the performance and interobserver agreement of the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS), the COVID-19 imaging reporting and data system (COVID-RADS), the RSNA expert consensus statement, and the British Society of Thoracic Imaging (BSTI) guidance statement. In this case-control study, total of 100 symptomatic patients suspected of having COVID-19 were included 50 patients with COVID-19 (59±17 years, 38 men) and 50 patients without COVID-19 (65±24 years, 30 men). Eight radiologists independently scored chest CT images of the cohort according to each reporting system. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC) and interobserver agreements were calculated and statistically compared across the systems. A total of 800 observations were made for each system. The level of suspicion of COVID-19 correlated with the RT-PCR positive rate except for the "negative for pneumonia" classifications in all the systems (Spearman's coefficient ρ=1.0, =<.001 for all the systems). Average AUCs were as follows CO-RADS, 0.84 (95% confidence interval, 0.83-0.85) COVID-RADS, 0.80 (0.78-0.81) the RSNA statement, 0.81 (0.79-0.82) and the BSTI statement, 0.84 (0.812-0.86). Average Cohen's kappa across observers was 0.62 (95% confidence interval, 0.58-0.66), 0.63 (0.58-0.68), 0.63 (0.57-0.69), and 0.61 (0.58-0.64) for CO-RADS, COVID-RADS, the RSNA statement and the BSTI statement, respectively. CO-RADS and the BSTI statement outperformed COVID-RADS and the RSNA statement in diagnostic performance ( =.<.05 for all the comparison). CO-RADS, COVID-RADS, the RSNA statement and the BSTI statement provided reasonable performances and interobserver agreements in reporting CT findings of COVID-19. CO-RADS, COVID-RADS, the RSNA statement and the BSTI statement provided reasonable performances and interobserver agreements in reporting CT findings of COVID-19. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) affects vulnerable populations (VP) adversely. To evaluate overall imaging utilization in vulnerable subgroups (elderly, racial/ethnic minorities, socioeconomic status [SES] disadvantage) and determine if a particular subgroup has worse outcomes from COVID-19. Of 4110 patients who underwent COVID-19 testing from March 3-April 4, 2020 at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital (NYP) health system, we included 1121 COVID-19 positive adults (mean age 59±18 years, 59% male) from two academic hospitals and evaluated imaging utilization rates and outcomes, including mortality. Of 897 (80%) VP, there were 465 (41%) elderly, 380 (34%) racial/ethnic minorities, and 479 (43%) SES disadvantage patients. Imaging was performed in 88% of patients and mostly portable/bedside studies, with 87% of patients receiving chest radiographs. There were 83% hospital admissions, 25% ICU admissions, 23% intubations, and 13% deaths. Elderly patients had greater imaging utilization, hospitalizations, ICUES disadvantage patients fare better or similarly to their counterparts, highlighting the critical role of access to inpatient medical care during the COVID-19 pandemic. To develop a technique that allows portable chest radiography to be performed through the glass door of a patient's room in the emergency department. A retrospective review of 100 radiographs (50 [mean age 59.4 ± 17.3, range 22-87; 30 women] performed with the modified technique in April 2020, randomized with 50 [mean age 59 ± 21.6, range 19-100; 31 men] using the standard technique was completed by three thoracic radiologists to assess image quality. Radiation exposure estimates to patient and staff were calculated. A survey was created and sent to 32 x-ray technologists to assess their perceptions of the modified technique. Unpaired Ttests were used for numerical data. value < .05 was considered statistically significant. The entrance dose for a 50th percentile patient was the same between techniques, measuring 169 µGy. The measured technologist exposure from the modified technique assuming a 50th percentile patient and standing 6 feet to the side of the glass was 0.055 µGy, which was lower thanied positioning. Perceptions of the new modified technique by frontline staff were overwhelmingly positive.An esophagopericardial fistula is a rare complication of esophageal malignancy, trauma, or surgery. Imaging is a cornerstone of diagnosis, with detection of pneumopericardium or hydropneumopericardium at imaging raising suspicion for pyopneumopericardium and prompting immediate search for the causative pathologic process. Given the high associated mortality rate of over 50% for patients with esophagopericardial fistulas, early diagnosis and intervention are vital.

Cross-sectional imaging techniques (CT and MRI) are well suited for evaluation and surgical planning. This review article focuses on the embryologic development, hemodynamics, and imaging features to enable a timely diagnosis. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/pi3k-hdac-inhibitor-i.html Biatrial drainage of the right SVC has important clinical implications, and knowledge of its imaging appearance and hemodynamics is essential in diagnosis and treatment planning. © RSNA, 2020. The purpose of this retrospective study was to correlate CT patterns of fatal cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with postmortem pathology observations. The study included 70 lung lobes of 14 patients who died of reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction-confirmed COVID-19. All patients underwent antemortem CT and autopsy between March 9 and April 30, 2020. Board-certified radiologists and pathologists performed lobewise correlations of pulmonary observations. In a consensus reading, 267 radiologic and 257 histopathologic observations of the lungs were recorded and systematically graded according to severity. These observations were matched and evaluated. Predominant CT observations were ground-glass opacities (GGO) (59/70 lobes examined) and areas of consolidation (33/70). The histopathologic observations were consistent with diffuse alveolar damage (70/70) and capillary dilatation and congestion (70/70), often accompanied by microthrombi (27/70), superimposed acute bronchopneumonia (17/70), and leukocytoclastic vasculitis (7/70).
