Abstract

As coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection spreads globally, the demand for chest imaging will inevitably rise with an accompanying increase in risk of disease transmission to frontline radiology staff. Radiology departments should implement strict infection control measures and robust operational plans to minimize disease transmission and mitigate potential impact of possible staff infection. In this article, the authors share several operational guidelines and strategies implemented in our practice to reduce spread of COVID-19 and maintain clinical and educational needs of a teaching hospital.

  • Trial staff may be able to reassure participants by sharing various safety measures such as body temperature checks, social distancing measures, hand sanitisation, surgical masks and one-way systems.

    “Trial staff may be able to reassure participants by sharing various safety measures such as body temperature checks, social distancing measures, hand sanitisation, surgical masks and one-way systems [25,26].”

    Strategy 2 (Strict Infection Control; page unavailable) describes staff temperature monitoring, hand hygiene and surgical masks, while Strategies 3–4 describe physical segregation and reduced interactions. The paper concerns a radiology department, not trial participants; it does not assess whether sharing these measures reassures participants or describe a one-way system. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
