This study is the first to report the diagnostic accuracy of CXR and CT in the general emergency population during the COVID-19 pandemic. We show that CXR has poor sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of COVID-19, while CT has 29% higher sensitivity.

Jun 1, 2021 · Fast and accurate diagnosis of COVID-19 is possible with the chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) scan images. Our manuscript aims to compare the performances of chest imaging techniques in the diagnosis of COVID-19 infection using different convolutional neural networks (CNN).

Nov 6, 2020 · CT has substantially improved diagnostic performance over CXR in COVID-19. CT should be strongly considered in the initial assessment for suspected COVID-19. This gives potential for increased sensitivity and considerably faster turnaround time, where capacity allows and balanced against excess radi ….

Sep 26, 2022 · CXR and CT scans are the most commonly used imaging tests for diagnosing pneumonia, and CT scan is the gold-standard imaging test that best supports the analysis of the lungs. On the other hand, CXR is cheaper and more widespread around the world.

The evidence suggests that chest CT and ultrasound are better at ruling out COVID-19 infection than distinguishing it from other respiratory problems. So, their usefulness may be limited to excluding COVID-19 infection rather than differentiating it from other causes of lung infection.
Mar 7, 2022 · X-ray imaging techniques are often employed in the diagnosis of COVID-19 due to their wide availability, quick processing time and low cost. But CT imaging techniques are preferred as it carries detailed information of the infected region [7].
Feb 9, 2021 · The role of imaging has evolved during the pandemic, with CT initially being an alternative and possibly superior testing method compared with reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing and evolving to having a more limited role based on specific indications.
