As new cases of sudden acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) continue to pop up around the globe, imagers in Asia are compiling what is known about the disease's presentation on clinical images.
The Hong Kong College of Radiologists will hold a scientific symposium, "SARS Imaging: Pneumonia, Atypical Pneumonia, and Pneumonia-like Conditions," on June 7th at the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine Jockey Club Building.
Among other topics, physicians will discuss the clinical utility of radiology in the management of SARS. The event, cosponsored by the Hong Kong Hospital Authority and the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine, is free of charge, and provides category A CME points. Information on this meeting is available at http://www.hkcr.org.
Clinical symptoms of SARS include high fever, chills, cough, difficult breathing, and myalgia. Patients presenting with these symptoms are likely to show positive results with either chest x-ray or CT. The findings, including the imaging protocol recommended by Chinese University of Hong Kong, are available at the Prince of Wales Web site at http://www.droid.cuhk.edu.hk.

MRI-Based AI Radiomics Model Offers 'Robust' Prediction of Perineural Invasion in Prostate Cancer
July 26th 2024A model that combines MRI-based deep learning radiomics and clinical factors demonstrated an 84.8 percent ROC AUC and a 92.6 percent precision-recall AUC for predicting perineural invasion in prostate cancer cases.
Breast MRI Study Examines Common Factors with False Negatives and False Positives
July 24th 2024The absence of ipsilateral breast hypervascularity is three times more likely to be associated with false-negative findings on breast MRI and non-mass enhancement lesions have a 4.5-fold likelihood of being linked to false-positive results, according to new research.
Can Polyenergetic Reconstruction Help Resolve Streak Artifacts in Photon Counting CT?
July 22nd 2024New research looking at photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) demonstrated significantly reduced variation and tracheal air density attenuation with polyenergetic reconstruction in contrast to monoenergetic reconstruction on chest CT.
