Chest X-Ray Evaluation Protocol

CXRs were acquired as computed or digital radiographs according to the local protocols. All CXR studies were analyzed by two observers (MC and MG with more than 5 years’ experience) using a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) workstation [Carestream Vue PACS v11.3.4 (Carestream Health, Inc, Rochester, NY)]. In the few cases of disagreement, the decision was reached by consultation with a senior radiologist (RF with more than 10 years’ experience). CXRs were rated as positive/negative, and the features reported included presence and distribution of airspace opacities, pleural effusion and reduction in lung volumes [7 (link)].

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.
