New Delhi: Expressing its shock and disappointment over the statement by Dr Randeep Guleria, Director of AIIMS on the use of CT scans in the evaluation of COVID patients, the Indian Radiology and Imaging Association (IRIA) has issued a seven-point rebuttal, adding that such type of unscientific and irresponsible statements from such senior health authorities creates confusion among the public and hampers Covid-19 treatment.
IRIA explained the importance of CT scan in diagnosing COVID suspected patients who have typical features of Covid 19 but are RTPCR negative due to mutant variant, technical errors, or low viral load and also in determining the severity of the infection, thereby clarifying that the importance of CT chest must not be denounced.
This comes after the association took note of the comments made by Dr Randeep Guleria on the use of CT scans in the evaluation of COVID patients.
