    The study evaluates radiologists' ability to differentiate post-COVID-19 residual abnormalities from interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) using chest CT scans.

  • 2

    A total of 60 subjects were included, with 20 cases of post-COVID-19 abnormalities and 40 cases of ILA, matched for age and sex.

  • 3

    Fifteen radiologists participated, categorized as more-experienced and less-experienced, to assess the diagnostic performance in distinguishing the conditions.

  • 4

    Radiologists used a 5-point scale to assign suspicion levels for post-COVID-19 abnormalities and ILA, with a binary scale for improved diagnostic precision.

  • 5

    The study highlights the importance of distinguishing these conditions due to their potentially different long-term outcomes and management implications.
