Small airways disease may be evaluated with a single inspiratory CT scan using generative artificial intelligence (AI).

However, the total dose was significantly lower compared with chest CT (~20 mGy for both inspiratory and expiratory images) and ventilation perfusion scan (~60 mGy). The advantages of DCR are as ...

Spirometry results were within normal limits with forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of 82%, forced vital capacity (FVC) of 84%, total lung capacity (TLC) of 80% and diffusion capacity of ...

Spirometry, impulse oscillometry, fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), chest computed tomography, the 6-min walk test (6MWT), hand grip strength, maximum inspiratory pressure, and maximum ...

To evaluate this case, a CT scan was performed. The scan showed a large retrocardiac mass consistent with a large hiatal hernia and dislocation of the stomach into the chest (figures ... put at rest ...

On physical examination, the patient was in mild respiratory distress, and lung auscultation revealed diffuse expiratory wheezing ... Urine and blood cultures were negative. CT angiogram of the chest ...

When spirometry is unavailable, physicians can use the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire score plus peak expiratory flow ...

A new study suggests the cumulative effects of ionizing radiation from CT scans may raise a person's lifetime risk of ...

At current utilization and radiation dose levels, computed tomography (CT) examinations in 2023 were projected to result in about 103,000 future cancers among exposed patients.

Although the definition of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) has undergone numerous revisions aimed at enhancing its diagnostic accuracy and clinical practicality, the usefulness and ...

Cancer risk from a single CT scan is low, but repeated exposure could increase the risk of radiation-induced cancer.
