delines and high risk of bias, which are most likely due to the need for urgent publication of findings in the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.
  To compare prediction of disease outcome, severity, and patient triage in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia with whole lung radiomics, radiologists' interpretation, and clinical variables.
 
  This institutional review board-approved retrospective study included 315 adult patients (mean age, 56 years [range, 21-100 years], 190 men, 125 women) with COVID-19 pneumonia who underwent noncontrast chest CT. All patients (inpatients, 
  = 210; outpatients, 
  = 105) were followed-up for at least 2 weeks to record disease outcome. Clinical variables, such as presenting symptoms, laboratory data, peripheral oxygen saturation, and comorbid diseases, were recorded. Two radiologists assessed each CT in consensus and graded the extent of pulmonary involvement (by percentage of involved lobe) and type of opacities within each lobe. Radiomics were obtained for the entire lung, and multiple logistic regression analyses with areas under the curve (AUCs) as outputs were performed.

  To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the four standardized categories for CT reporting proposed by the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) to support a faster triage compared with real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which is the reference standard for suspected coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but has long reporting time (6-48 hours).
 
  A retrospective analysis of 569 thin-section CT examinations performed for patients suspected of having COVID-19 from February 27 to March 27, 2020 (peak of infection in Italy) was conducted. The imaging pattern was classified according to the statement by the RSNA as "typical," "indeterminate," "atypical," and "negative" and compared with RT-PCR for 460 patients. Interobserver variability in reporting between a senior and a junior radiologist was evaluated. Use of the vascular enlargement sign in indeterminate cases was also assessed.
 
  The diagnosis of COVID-19 was made in 45.9% (211/460) of patients. The "typical" pattern (
  ovides a standardized diagnostic hypothesis, strongly linked to the RT-PCR results for the "typical," "atypical," and "negative" pattern. In the "indeterminate" pattern, the analysis of the vascular enlargement sign could facilitate the interpretation of imaging features.© RSNA, 2020.
  To evaluate pulmonary embolism (PE) prevalence at CT pulmonary angiography in patients testing positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and factors associated with PE severity.
 
  A retrospective, single-center study evaluated 62 patients who tested positive for COVID-19 who underwent CT pulmonary angiography between March 13 and April 5, 2020. Another 62-patient cohort who underwent CT pulmonary angiography before the first reported local COVID-19 case was retrospectively selected. The relative rate of CT pulmonary angiography positivity was recorded. For the COVID-19 positive cohort, comorbidities, laboratory values, clinical outcome, and venous thrombosis of the patients were recorded.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/ly333531.html  Two thoracic radiologists assessed embolic severity using the Mastora system and evaluated right heart strain. Factors associated with PE and arterial obstruction severity were evaluated by using statistical analysis. A 
  value < .05 was considered significant.

 A total of 37.1% of COVID-19 patients underwent CT pulmonary angiographic examinations diagnosing PE. PE can be a cause of decompensation in patients testing positive for COVID-19, and d-dimer can be used to stratify patients in terms of PE risk and severity.Supplemental material is available for this article.© RSNA, 2020.
  To investigate CT pulmonary angiography findings of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its association with clinical and radiologic conditions.
 
  This retrospective study includes 109 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 who underwent CT pulmonary angiography for suspected PTE from March 20 to May 3, 2020. Data were collected from our PACS. CT pulmonary angiography findings of PTE were evaluated. On the basis of the presence or absence of PTE, patients were divided into two groups, and their clinical and radiologic conditions were compared using the Mann-Whitney 
  test and χ
  test.
 
  The study population comprised 82 men and 19 women, with a mean age of 64.1 years ± 15.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 60.4, 67.6) years. CT pulmonary angiography was performed 19.8 days ± 6.1 (95% CI 18.1, 20.2) after symptom onset and 10.5 days ± 3.8 (95% CI 10.2, 12.9) after admission. Of 101 patients, 41 had PTE (40.6%). PTE was mostly bilateral or only right (37/41 [90.2%]), mainly evelopment of PTE in COVID-19 might be a pulmonary artery thrombosis because of severe lung inflammation and hypercoagulability rather than thromboembolism.© RSNA, 2020.
 PTE in COVID-19 involves mainly the segmental and subsegmental arteries of segments affected by consolidations in patients with more severe lung disease. The authors hypothesize that the development of PTE in COVID-19 might be a pulmonary artery thrombosis because of severe lung inflammation and hypercoagulability rather than thromboembolism.© RSNA, 2020.COVID-19 has disrupted traditional cardiovascular care pathways leading to significant challenges; with these challenges have also come opportunities to iterate our testing strategies to ensure they are patient centered and also that they are most appropriate and best align with infection protection protocols. © RSNA, 2020.
  The novel coronavirus pandemic has caused significant morbidity and mortality since December 2019. Although the role of chest CT for diagnosing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia is still debatable, the modality has been used in scenarios of constrained reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testing. The epidemiologic reports indicate an unexplored difference between men and women in disease severity. We aimed to study the role of sex on disease severity and its correlation with CT findings.
 
  Authors retrospectively studied all confirmed cases of COVID-19 with thoracic CT scans obtained at three hospitals from February 25, 2020, to March 15, 2020, in Tehran, Iran. CT involvement patterns of COVID-19 were analyzed based on sex and age of patients.
 
  One hundred fifteen patients (64.3% [74/115] men) were enrolled, with a median age of 57 years (age range, 21-89). Thirty patients were admitted to the intensive care unit, and 30 patients died during the hospital stay. Seventy-seven percent (37/48) of patients with unfavorable prognosis were male.
