Chest Ct Vs. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction Testing For Covid Diagnosis, Megan Chlebove
Medical Imaging Senior Posters
This project explains reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction tests (RT-PCR), how they are used to test patients for coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and how chest computed tomography (CT) imaging can assist in diagnosis. False negatives in RT-PCR testing, ground glass opacities (GGOs), pros and cons of using CT and RT-PCR tests together for diagnosis, and the use of artificial intelligence to diagnose COVID on a CT image are also discussed. COVID is a respiratory disease discovered in December of 2019 in Wuhan, China and has spread to the entire world. RT-PCR tests are the main form of diagnosis of COVID and …
Single- And Dual-Energy Ct: A Comparison, Emilee Bixler
Single- And Dual-Energy Ct: A Comparison, Emilee Bixler
Student Research Poster Presentations 2020
This research offers a comparison of two types of computed tomography (CT) configurations by exploring each scanner type and the accompanying image specifications, protocols, radiation doses, geometric aspects, and photographic aspects of the resulting images. The comparison aimed to determine if single-energy CT (SECT) or dual-energy CT (DECT) had any clear advantages over the other scanner type. Several studies in the research resulted in DECT displaying a decrease in dose without compromising contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). The studies in this research also showed DECT had a superior ability of decreasing iodine by 70% concentration dose while obtaining the same image quality …
