In COVID-19 patients, considerable variation was found in the QCTmass (72.4±120.8 g; range, 0.7-420.7 g) and relative 3D opacity extent on CT (3.2±5.8% of lung area; range, 0.1-19.8%). 2. Chest radiographs in patients under investigation for COVID-19 provided a sensitivity of 25% (5/20) and specificity of 90% (18/20) for COVID-19-related opacities. 3. The QCTmass (p<.001) and the 3D opacity volume on CT (p<.001) significantly affected the visibility of COVID-19-related opacities on radiographs. I n p r e s s Summary Statement Quantitative opacity mass and 3D opacity volume on CT were quantifiable metrics affecting the visibility of COVID-19-related opacities on chest radiographs.
The biomechanical properties of the GraftMax are comparable to the TightRope. The TightRope, when knotted, shows an improvement both in load to failure and cyclic displacement, though the differences are not significant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
