COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19) is a zoonotic illness first reported in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019, and is now officially a global pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization. The infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 infected patients can be asymptomatic carriers or present with mild-to-severe respiratory symptoms. Imaging, including computed tomography is not recommended to screen/diagnose COVID-19 infections, but plays an important role in management of these patients, and to rule out alternative diagnoses or coexistent diseases. In our multicenter case series, we outline the clinical presentations and illustrate the most common imaging manifestations in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.
2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)是一种人畜共患病,于2019年12月在中国武汉市首次报告,目前世界卫生组织已宣布其为全球大流行疾病。该感染由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)引起。COVID-19感染患者可能是无症状携带者,也可能出现轻至重度呼吸道症状。不建议使用包括计算机断层扫描在内的影像学检查来筛查/诊断COVID-19感染,但它在这些患者的管理中起着重要作用,并且有助于排除其他诊断或并存疾病。在我们的多中心病例系列中,我们概述了临床表现,并展示了COVID-19住院患者最常见的影像学表现。
