How tests and scan helped catch and fight silent Covid

How tests and scan helped catch and fight silent Covid The ICMR must develop guidelines for the treatment that are not test-heavy and allow the treatment to start quickly at home Suranya Aiyar   |     |   Published 10.05.21, 01:27 AM The latest guideline from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to stop relying on the RT-PCR test and instead rely on clinical diagnosis that is, an evaluation of the symptoms of the patient to determine whether they have Covid is a welcome move. Before Covid, doctors, at least in India, were judged by their ability to diagnose illness without subjecting patients to tests. However, led by World Health Organisation-directed public health experts, the Covid response from the start has been test-dependent.

Here s a look back at the scientific literature on the matter. The All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) director Dr Randeep Guleria recently said that a CT scan is equivalent to 300-400 X-rays and should be avoided for mild Covid-19 cases. In response, the Indian Radiological and Imaging Association (IRIA) dismissed Guleria’s claims by calling it “misleading”. According to the association, CT scans are an important component of Covid-19 diagnosis and they can determine the severity of the disease.

Radiology body condemns AIIMS Director s statement on CT Scan causing cancer, calls in irresponsible

Radiology body condemns AIIMS Director’s statement on CT Scan causing cancer, calls in irresponsible AIIMS Director Dr Guleria had said that younger people being exposed to CT scans ups the risk of cancer, as they age. Representative image Updated: May 5, 2021, 10:14 PM IST The Indian Radiological & Imaging Association(IRIA), a registered body has issued a statement clarifying that Computerized Tomography or CT scans are not harmful as was projected by the AIIMS Director Dr. Randeep Guleria in a media interaction. The Association has mentioned that Dr. Guleria’s claims of CT scan being equal to 300-400 X-Rays, upping cancer risk are wrong and outdated. IRIA says that one CT-Scan being equal to the radiation exposure of 300-400 X-rays is a thing of the past (at least 30-40 years ago). They argue that modern ultra low dose CT Scanners emit radiation that is comparable to barely about 5-10 X-rays.
