Chest Pain Protocol Order Set
<p>The goal of this project is to implement a chest pain protocol order set in order to increase the nurse-initiated chest pain protocol by 50%. The project was implemented in a Emergency Department (ED) that has problems with understaffing and patient crowding. RN-initiated chest pain orders are …

Feasibility Study of Low Dose Chest CT for Initial Evaluation of Blunt Chest Trauma Patient
… rapid increase of the CT radiation dose in blunt chest trauma evaluation. Therefore, according to the ALARA (as low as reasonable achievable) principle, radiation dose adjustment in the patients with blunt chest trauma is inevitable. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance and …

Fatal penetrating injuries of the chest
… order to document the true impact of penetrating chest injuries, and to place mortality data in perspective, a retrospective descriptive study of all cases with fatal penetrating chest injuries admitted to the Salt River Medicolegal Laboratory in Cape Town during 1990 was undertaken. In 1990, a …

Chest X-Ray Image Classification with Deep Learning
… considers one essential task in CAD, the chest X-ray (CXR) image classification problem, with the deep learning technologies from the following three aspects. First, considering most diseases existing in CXRs usually happen in small, localized areas, we propose to localize the local …

Image Features for Tuberculosis Classification in Digital Chest Radiographs
… medical care may be limited. Analysis of digital chest radiographs (CXRs) is a common and inexpensive method for the diagnosis of TB; however, a trained radiologist is required to interpret the results, and is subject to human error. Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) systems are a promising …

Multi-Dimensional Evaluation Metrics for Chest X-Ray Reports
… radiology reports using the large MIMIC-CXR chest x-ray dataset. However, there has been little work focused on evaluating the quality of generated reports from a clinical perspective, where accuracy is the most important factor. Current evaluation metrics evaluate reports in one dimension. …

Automatic Chest X-rays Analysis using Statistical Machine Learning Strategies
… Instead, the well known and affordable chest x-ray (CXR) interpretation by radiologists is the technique employed in those places. Nevertheless, if this method is obsolete in other parts of the world nowadays it is because of its many flaws including: i) it is a tedious task that …

Computer aided diagnosis of miliary TB in chest X-rays
With the improvement in computer technology, Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) is becoming an increasingly more powerful tool for radiologists. The focus of this project was on CAD of pulmonary miliary tuberculosis. Several methods for enhancing lung textures were discussed as an aid to the …

The evaluation of chest images compressed with JPEG and wavelet techniques
… A preliminary study was conducted using several chest images with common lung diseases and compressed with JPEG and wavelet techniques at various ratios. Twelve board-certified radiologists were recruited to perform two types of experiments. In the first part of the experiment, presence of lung …

Characterisation of manual chest physiotherapy and respiratory response in mechanically ventilated children
Chest physiotherapy is integral to the management of mechanically ventilated children and previous research has confirmed that chest wall vibrations are the manual techniques used most frequently by physiotherapists in this population. Chest wall vibrations involve the application of a compressive …

An evaluation of digital radiography in the imaging of the neonatal chest.
Neonatal chest radiography is an area where there has been very limited research. The introduction of Computed Radiography (CR) has provided a new imaging modality that can be used to acquire neonatal chest radiographs and possibly reduce the radiation dose. The aim of this thesis was to design a …

Assessment of airway compression on chest radiographs in children with pulmonary tuberculosis
… tuberculosis (PTB) in children relies heavily on chest radiography as sputum samples are difficult to obtain and only yield positive results in 30-74% of children treated for PTB. However, radiological signs between lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) and PTB overlap considerably and there …

Computer-assisted detection of lung cancer nudules in medical chest X-rays
… world countries. The routine diagnostic tool for chest complaints is the x-ray. Lung cancer may be diagnosed by the identification of a lung cancer nodule in a chest x-ray. The cure of lung cancer depends upon detection and diagnosis at an early stage. Presently the five-year survival rate of lung …
