TL;DR: It is suggested that knowledge of clinical history does not affect the accuracy of chest radiograph interpretations for the detection of interstitial disease, nodules, and pneumothoraces.

TL;DR: Limited but consistent experience suggests that Xe CT blood flow mapping makes possible the recognition of brain regions in which flow reserves are compromised, due to the relatively high degree of spatial resolution that this technique provides and to the fact that mapping can be correlated directly with the anatomy.

TL;DR: Comparing storage phosphor images with high-quality conventional film-screen images by evaluating physicians' perceptions of image quality and their levels of confidence in making diagnostic interpretations indicated that their level of confidence would be at least as high when using the storage phosphate images as when using conventional images.

TL;DR: Given the absence of a significant difference in the ability of the mass spectrometer and the thermoconductivity detector to measure end-tidal xenon concentration, the thermoporous detector appears to be a satisfactory alternative in studies measuring the rate of local cerebral blood flow by enhanced computerized tomography.
