Background: Development of thoracic ultrasound made it a useful tool for diagnosing respiratory disorders. But it has been rarely described in literatures about the accuracy of sonographic signs specific to pneumothorax. We studied the sonographic findings of pneumothorax in children and examined the patients with chest pain and/or dyspnea in our pediatric emergency department to determine the ...

BACKGROUND With soaring advances in the field of medicine, the place of older radiologic imaging modalities is being reduced to basic screening tools. Yet the modern imaging modalities like computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound and nuclear medicine are hardly available. STUDY OBJECTIVES To study the frequency of various indications of plain chest radiograp...

PURPOSE To systematically examine whether abandoning daily routine chest radiography would adversely affect outcomes, such as mortality and length of stay (LOS), and identify a subgroup in which daily routine chest radiography might be beneficial. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a meta-analysis of clinical trials that examined the effect of abandoning daily routine chest radiography in adults ...

Thorax radiography examination in pediatric patients is one of the most frequent examinations because many abnormalities that occur thorax and have a high probability at children's age. Pediatric are assisted by companion from adult patient's family. Calculation measurement radiation dose received very important as they room with patient during imaging process. And no matter how small companion...

INTRODUCTION It is important that theory is synchronous with clinical practices that students engage in. Lack of congruence between theory and practice presents serious problems to students. This study was therefore conducted to determine if there was a theory-practice gap in chest radiography during clinical rotations, and any associated causes and effects on radiography students. METHOD A d...

introduction: application of chest radiography for all multiple trauma patients is associated with a significant increase in total costs, exposure to radiation, and overcrowding of the emergency department. ultrasound has been introduced as an alternative diagnostic tool in this regard. the aim of the present study is to compare the diagnostic accuracy of chest ultrasonography and radiography i...

INTRODUCTION: The identification of COVID-19 pneumonia using chest radiography is challenging. OBJECTIVES: We investigate classification models to differentiate COVID-19-based and typical in radiography. METHODS: use 136 segmented X-rays train evalu

BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a substantial public health problem in western countries. Previous studies have examined different screening strategies for lung cancer but there have been no published systematic reviews. METHODS A systematic review of controlled trials was conducted to determine whether screening for lung cancer using regular sputum examinations or chest radiography or computed tom...
