项目摘要

Abstract As of 4/30/2020, the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected more than one million people and caused 60,057 deaths in the United States. Neither the clinical symptoms nor the radiological features of COVID- 19 are specific to the disease, resulting in significant challenges to the screening and early diagnosis of this highly infectious disease. The current gold standard method for COVID-19 diagnosis, the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test, has a relatively long turnaround time. Chest x-ray radiography (CXR) has been widely used in the United States for COVID-19 assessment since the first case reported in the US. However, the major challenge with the use of CXR is its low sensitivity and specificity to COVID-19, which is largely attributed to the lack of x-ray absorption contrast sensitivity to mild alveolar damages in the early phases of COVID-19. In this Emergency Competitive Revision, we offer a quick response to the imperative clinical need to improve the diagnostic accuracy of CXR to COVID-19 by leveraging the multi-contrast x-ray imaging technology developed in our ongoing R01 project (EB020521). In particular, the x-ray dark field contrast mechanism is orders of magnitude more sensitive to partial fillings or collapses of alveoli and thus is expected to offer a significant boost to CXR’s sensitivity to alveolar damage. We will quickly construct a multi-contrast chest x-ray radiography (MC-CXR) system, characterize its physical performance, evaluate its radiation safety, and optimize its scan protocols. Finally, we will conduct a pilot human subject study to collect initial evidence for its clinical value in diagnosing COVID-19. Considering the high likelihood for a second wave of COVID-19, the availability of the proposed MC-CXR system can facilitate the hospital systems to cope with additional rounds of patient surge by providing rapid “entrance” assessment of COVID-19.

抽象的截至 2020 年 4 月 30 日，2019 年冠状病毒病 (COVID-19) 已感染超过一百万人，无论是新冠病毒的临床症状还是放射学特征，均导致美国 60,057 人死亡。 19种是该疾病特有的，这给该疾病的筛查和早期诊断带来了重大挑战目前诊断 COVID-19 的金标准方法是逆转录酶。聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）测试，具有相对较长的周转时间。自美国报告第一例病例以来，该方法已在美国广泛用于 COVID-19 评估。然而，使用 CXR 的主要挑战是其对 COVID-19 的低敏感性和特异性，这是很大程度上归因于早期阶段对轻度肺泡损伤缺乏 X 射线吸收对比敏感性在这次紧急竞争性修订中，我们对迫切的临床需求做出快速响应。利用多重对比 X 射线成像提高 CXR 对 COVID-19 的诊断准确性我们正在进行的 R01 项目 (EB020521) 中开发的技术特别是 X 射线暗场对比度。机制对肺泡的部分充盈或塌陷更加敏感，因此是预期的为了显着提高 CXR 对肺泡损伤的敏感性，我们将快速构建多重对比。胸部X射线摄影（MC-CXR）系统，表征其物理性能，评估其辐射安全性，最后，我们将进行一项试点人体研究，以收集初步证据。考虑到第二波 COVID-19 的可能性很高，拟议的 MC-CXR 系统的可用性可以帮助医院系统应对额外的轮次通过提供 COVID-19 的快速“入门”评估，患者激增。
