Chest CT scans were performed using a Siemens somatom sensation 64‐slice CT or a GE Discovery CT 750 HD. Scanning scheme: Ask the patients to hold their breath for a scan after inhaling. Using CARE DOSE technology, 120 kV, pitch 1.000, layer thickness 5 mm; lung window (window width 1500 HU, window position −450 HU), mediastinum window (window width 400 HU, window position 40 HU), layer thickness 1 mm, interval 1 mm. Films were read by two experienced radiologists.
Somatom sensation 64 slice ct
Manufactured by GE Healthcare
The Somatom Sensation 64-slice CT is a medical imaging device manufactured by GE Healthcare. It is designed to capture high-resolution, three-dimensional images of the body's internal structures using advanced computed tomography (CT) technology. The core function of this equipment is to provide healthcare professionals with detailed diagnostic information to support clinical decision-making.

We retrospectively analyzed 897 consecutive chest CT scans of COVID-19 patients, performed at Santa Maria della Misericordia University Hospital, Perugia, Italy, during the COVID-19 pandemic period from March 2020 to September 2021. The study included 25 patients, 19 men and 6 women, with a mean age of 64 years ± 12 (range, 42–81 years). Chest CT was performed on a 64-section scanners (Optima CT660 GE Healthcare, Siemens Somatom Sensation 64 slice CT) and images were reconstructed in the axial plane using slice thicknesses of 1.0 and 1.25 mm. Two radiologists (M.S. and G.B.S. with 26 and 15 years of experience in chest CT, respectively) and two physicians in training in diagnostic radiology (A.B. and A.B.) independently and in consensus assessed the PIE as air within the perilobular (low-attenuation area) and perivascular interstitium, its complications, parenchymal abnormalities and pleural effusion.
Institutional review board approval was not required since the retrospective nature of the study and since the CT scan was performed as a part of a routine clinical procedure. Written informed consent for data publication was obtained from all patients and their identity was not disclosed in the study.
Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, and the results were expressed as counts and percentages.

About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
