X-rays can help doctors identify TB infections. They look for specific characteristics in these images to make a diagnosis. TB is an infectious disease that primarily affects the lungs, although it ...

A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that blocks the lung’s arteries. Blood clots do not show on chest X-rays. However, these X-rays may help doctors rule out other health conditions with similar ...

Researchers used nearly 150,000 chest X-rays to train an artificial intelligence program to identify patterns in the images associated with risk from major cardiovascular disease events. They tested ...

At what point should a patient have repeat chest x-ray after reporting a prior (10 years ago) positive purified protein derivative (PPD) result with subsequent isoniazid therapy? The patient reports ...

In patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), low-dose CT achieved higher sensitivity than chest x-ray for detecting lung metastases and second primary lung cancer, but patients ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning-based AI algorithm that automatically analyzes chest X-rays to rapidly detect COVID-19 infection with more than 98% accuracy, distinguishing between normal X ...

Researchers have developed a deep learning model that uses a single chest X-ray to predict the 10-year risk of death from a heart attack or stroke, stemming from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease ...
