INTRODUCTION: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a crucial diagnostic tool in the Emergency Department (ED) for assessing patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Despite its widespread use, the ECG has limitations, including low sensitivity of the S...
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To assess a deep learning application (DLA) for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) detection on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the emergency room (ER) and the effect of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) on its performance.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a commonly overlooked cause of altered mental status. This study assessed nonconvulsive status epilepticus prevalence in emergency department (ED) patients with acute neurologic presentations using...
INTRODUCTION: Diagnostic imaging is vital in emergency departments (EDs). Accessibility and reporting impacts ED workflow and patient care. With radiology workforce shortages, reporting capacity is limited, leading to image interpretation delays. Tur...
