All CT studies were obtained at Mount Sinai Hospital, in General Electric® or Siemens® multidetector row chest CT scanners. Chest CT studies were performed using an institutional clinical protocol12 (link) with a radiation dose at 120 kVp, and a mean of 146 (SD 69) mAs, with subjects in the supine position, noise correction, and routine periodic scanner calibration. CT scans were obtained from the lung apices to the bases in a single breath hold at maximum inspiration, and we excluded those with section thicknesses exceeding 1.5 mm, contrast administration, or respiratory or motion artifacts. All deidentified and coded chest CT images were stored and cataloged during the past 5 years in the WTC PEU Chest CT Image Archive (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT03295279).5 (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.
