COVID19 and CTA Chest

CT tech here, I work at two small rural critical access hospitals and have noticed a trend since the pandemic began in March. Once a patient is swabbed or confirmed as positive for COVID, I always end up doing a CTA Chest(PE study) on them.

I've heard there is a connection between the virus and embolisms, but of all these patients I've never seen a positive for PE. Most just have the trademark ground glass pneumonia that could probably be seen with a regular chest without IV contrast.

Has anyone here seen an increase in pos PE studies on COVID patients?

AI for radiology - A survey

Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
