Early-Stage Radiology Volume Effects and Considerations with the COVID-19 Pandemic; Adaptations, Risks, and Lessons Learned 2020-07-09 .txt text/plain 3597 183 54 Methods Percent change of 2020 volume per week was compared to the corresponding 2019 volume calculated for each of the 14 imaging modalities and overall total; outpatient, emergency and inpatient studies, high-surge AMSs, low-surge AMSs, and the practice coalition. Descriptive analyses demonstrated the radiology volume during the COVID-19 pandemic in six academic medical systems (three in high-surge and three in low-surge regions) and a large national private practice coalition. Year-over-year percent change (2020 vs 2019) was calculated aggregating data to compare total volume change and for each specific modality (e.g. PET-CT, CT, MRI, IR, Breast COVID-19 Pandemic Radiology Volume Effects 4 Screening) in 1) high-surge vs. Volume drops in the private practice coalition COVID-19 Pandemic Radiology Volume Effects 5 paralleled the changes seen with the AMSs, and tracked with the trends shown by the low-surge AMSs. The modalities with greatest initial drops, such as breast screening mammography and DEXA scanning, also showed the greatest delays in trending towards volume recovery. ./cache/cord-345557-680k32a6.txt ./txt/cord-345557-680k32a6.txt
