Dear CT Insider,
Since the COVID-19 pandemic hit, clinicians have been trying to determine how best to diagnose patients -- and predict whether their illness will progress. CT has been a key modality for these applications.
In this edition's Insider Exclusive, we're highlighting a study that shows how using a disease severity prediction model with CT makes the technology even more effective in assessing patients' risk of further complications from COVID-19.
After you've read our featured story, learn about how artificial intelligence is being paired with CT, from boosting CT angiography's performance in detecting large-vessel occlusions and assessing liver steatosis with contrast-enhanced abdominal CT to using CT radiomics to predict esophageal cancer outcomes.
Take a look at what a team from NYU Langone Medical Center in New York City has to say about how thromboembolic findings on CT may indicate COVID-19, and consider whether referring providers are ordering CT lung cancer screening exams appropriately.
Finally, find out what presenters at the virtual European Respiratory Society International Conference had to say about how follow-up CT reveals lingering lung damage in COVID-19 patients.
We hope you are healthy and well, and we invite you to check in regularly with AuntMinnie.com's CT Community for the modality's most recent news and research developments.
