CHEST IMAGING FEATURES OF COVID-19 PNEUMONIA

The accuracy of chest CT in symptomatic patients

with COVID-19 is high, but used as a single diagnostic

test, CT can not accurately diagnose or

exclude coronavirus infection and should not be

relied upon as a screening or diagnostic tool for

COVID-19 pneumonia1. Chest CT is rather helpful

in evaluating the complications of COVID-19 and

is indicated in patients with COVID-19 and worsening

respiratory symptoms2. The most common

imaging findings are of an atypical or organising

pneumonia, with bilateral involvement, especially

of the lower lobes2.
