Some types of scans include X-rays, computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and ultrasound scans. Medical professionals use scans to help diagnose a range of health conditions.

A CT scan of healthy lungs looks typical in size with no inflammation, allowing the diaphragm to dome. Lungs with emphysema can look overinflated, with muscle loss, making the diaphragm misshapen. The ...

At similar radiation doses, ultra-low-dose CT (ULDCT) achieved superior image quality using AI-enhanced iterative reconstruction than chest x-rays for assessing cystic fibrosis-related lung disease in ...

In a recent study published in Frontiers in Public Health, researchers demonstrated that vasculature-like signals (N) in chest computed tomography (CT) scans could serve as robust imaging biomarkers ...

Two years after hospitalization for severe COVID-19 illness, more than a third of patients from the pandemic's early days had lingering pulmonary abnormalities on chest CT scans, according to a ...
