Radiologists distinguish COVID-19 pneumonia on CT
The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is characterized by CT findings that match features of other pneumonia-causing viruses. But radiologists from the U.S. and China demonstrated that they are well-equipped to differentiate COVID-19 from these other viruses in a new study, published online March 10 in Radiology.

3 factors linked to risk of death from coronavirus
For individuals with the novel coronavirus disease, several factors were associated with an increased risk of death in a new study, published online March 9 in the Lancet journal. Careful observation and blood testing could help clinicians identify these individuals at an early stage, researchers say.

CT findings for coronavirus may overlap with adenovirus
Chest CT accurately detected the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in the vast majority of high-risk individuals prior to confirmation by laboratory testing, though it also misidentified COVID-19 for the adenovirus in a small percentage of cases in a new study, published online March 4 in the American Journal of Roentgenology.

Low-dose CT produces no detectable DNA damage
The debate over the potential harms of CT radiation carries on in a new study published online March 10 in Radiology. Researchers from Japan are reporting that they found no evidence of DNA damage in individuals who underwent low-dose CT scans -- while damage was detectable from standard-dose exams.

Images of a 39-year-old who underwent screening mammography. Right craniocaudal (left) and mediolateral oblique (middle) views from preoperative mammography show suspicious grouped fine pleomorphic calcifications (arrows). After biopsy showed ductal carcinoma of situ (DCIS), patient underwent breast-conserving surgery, yielding final diagnosis of ductal carcinoma in situ (intermediate grade, hormone receptor positive). (Right) Screenshot of an output of a commercial AI tool applied to preoperative mammography. AI detected right breast lesion with score of 95% on both views (concentric colored circles). Present study’s reviewing radiologist deemed AI marking to correspond with site of DCIS.

Axial contrast-enhanced CT scan in a 28-year-old premenopausal woman shows an incidentally detected solid-appearing left ovarian lesion (solid arrow) anterior to the uterus (U), associated with trace ascites in the right adnexa and cul de sac (dashed arrows). At pathologic analysis, this was shown to be ovarian dysgerminoma. Two readers misdiagnosed this lesion, one as a leiomyoma and one as an ovarian fibroma.

Subgroup analysis based on lesion size on PCCT images. The red outlined areas highlight the magnified images of lesions. (A-C) PCCT images in a 62-year-old woman with a body mass index (BMI) of 23.6, calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma. A lesion with a long diameter of 25 mm was identified in the right lower lobe on axial images acquired during the venous phase. For lesions less than or equal to 30 mm, decreasing section thickness improved boundary sharpness and contrast between the necrotic area and enhanced tissue, with optimal visualization at 0.4 mm. (D-F) PCCT images in a 66-year-old man with a BMI of 24.2 who was diagnosed with adenocarcinoma, revealing a lesion with a long diameter of 52 mm in the right lower lobe. For lesions greater than 30 mm, a section thickness of 1 mm demonstrated better contrast and clarity at the boundary of the necrotic area compared with 0.4 mm. This observation supported the selection of an appropriate section thickness for accurate quantification of necrotic regions within the lesion.
