In December 2019, a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia emerged in Wuhan, China. Since then, this highly contagious COVID-19 has been spreading worldwide, with a rapid rise in the number of deaths. Novel COVID-19-infected pneumonia (NCIP) is characterized by fever, fatigue, dry cough, and dyspnea. A variety of chest imaging features have been reported, similar to those found in other types of coronavirus syndromes. The purpose of the present review is to briefly discuss the known epidemiology and the imaging findings of coronavirus syndromes, with a focus on the reported imaging findings of NCIP. Moreover, the authors review precautions and safety measures for radiology department personnel to manage patients with known or suspected NCIP. Implementation of a robust plan in the radiology department is required to prevent further transmission of the virus to patients and department staff members.
2019 年 12 月，中国武汉出现了一种新型冠状病毒（COVID-19）肺炎。自那时以来，这种高度传染性的 COVID-19 已在全球范围内传播，死亡人数迅速上升。新型 COVID-19 感染性肺炎（NCIP）的特征是发热、乏力、干咳和呼吸困难。已经报道了多种胸部影像学特征，与其他类型的冠状病毒综合征相似。本综述的目的是简要讨论已知的冠状病毒综合征的流行病学和影像学发现，重点是报道的 NCIP 的影像学发现。此外，作者还回顾了放射科人员管理已知或疑似 NCIP 患者的预防措施和安全措施。放射科需要实施一项强有力的计划，以防止病毒进一步传播给患者和科室工作人员。
