New x-ray method for Corona diagnosis ready for patient testing
Technical University of Munich/research news
Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed an innovative x-ray method for lung diagnostics, which they now plan to test in one of its first applications for diagnosis of the respiratory ailment Covid-19 caused by Coronavirus. The method could clearly identify abnormalities typical of the illness and involves a significantly lower radiation dose than the computed tomography methods currently in use. Last week, the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection (BfS) issued the approval necessary for the tests.

This is very interesting not only cutting down radiation but throughput as well. We have to decontaminate the CT room after use by infected patients, this could speed things up considerably. I’m passing this on to my Radiology group.
