Images in various forms, including radiographs, ultrasounds, waveforms, and other several other graphic representations, are a key part of pulmonary and critical care medicine. The Assembly on Clinical Problems is pleased to provide brief, image-based cases with key clinical questions.
We welcome the submission of any brief, image-based case/question. Each submitted case will be assigned for review by a section editor, based primarily on the type of image. Cases can be submitted using this template.
Due to unprecedented circumstances and the ongoing widespread effects of the COVID 19 pandemic ATS Quick Hits is experiencing delays in turn around times for the reviews. All our reviewers understandably have had to prioritize patient care. We will work diligently to get the reviewed back to you in a reasonable time frame.
Thank you all for your submissions and for your continued patience
