In their testing of eight commercially available filtering face piece (FFP3) respirators commonly utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers deemed that five of the face masks that contained ferromagnetic materials were unsafe to use in and around magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) devices.

An updated machine learning model demonstrated a 23 percent improvement in accuracy and a 36.1 percent improvement in sensitivity over visual radiologist assessment of ultrasound images for differentiating malignant lymph nodes and benign COVID-19 vaccination-related changes to lymph nodes.

Juggling a physician’s perspective and a layperson’s view can be a tricky juxtaposition at times.
