Since a novel coronavirus was discovered from a cluster of patients with emerging pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China, it has spread rapidly through droplet and contact transmission. Recently, the novel coronavirus pneumonia which was named COVID-19 by the World Health Organization (WHO) has been raised as a worldwide problem. Radiological examinations were confirmed as effective methods for the screening and diagnosis of COVID-19. It is reported that some radiologists and radiological technologists were infected when giving examinations to the patients with COVID-19. In order to reduce the infection risk of medical staff in radiology department, we summarized the experience on prevention and control measures in radiology department for COVID-19, aiming to guide the prevention and practical work for radiologists and radiological technologists. KEY POINTS: • The novel coronavirus spreads rapidly through droplet and contact transmission. • Radiologists and radiological technologists were possibly infected by patients. • Prevention and control measures in radiology department for COVID-19 are important.
自中国武汉出现不明原因的新型肺炎聚集性病例以来，新型冠状病毒已通过飞沫和接触传播迅速传播。最近，世界卫生组织（WHO）将这种新型冠状病毒肺炎命名为 COVID-19，已成为全球性问题。影像学检查被确认为 COVID-19 的筛查和诊断的有效方法。据报道，一些放射科医生和放射技师在为 COVID-19 患者进行检查时被感染。为了降低放射科医务人员的感染风险，我们总结了放射科针对 COVID-19 的防控措施经验，旨在为放射科医生和技师提供指导，以预防和实际工作。要点：
新型冠状病毒通过飞沫和接触传播迅速传播。
放射科医生和技师可能会被患者感染。
针对 COVID-19 的放射科防控措施非常重要。
