From December 2019, a novel coronavirus disease named COVID-19 was reported in China. Within 3 months, the World Health Organization defined COVID-19 as a pandemic, with more than 370,000 cases and 16,000 deaths worldwide. In consideration of the crucial role of diagnostic testing during COVID-19, the aim of this technical note was to provide a complete synthesis of approaches implemented for the management of suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients.
The planning of a robust plan to prevent the transmission of the virus to patients and department staff members should be fundamental in each radiology service. Moreover, the speed of spread and the incidence of the pandemic make it necessary to optimize the use of personal protective devices and dedicated COVID-19 equipment, given the limited availability of supplies.
In the management of radiographic and CT imaging, staff should take special precautions to limit contamination between patients and other patients or professionals.
An isolated imaging room should be dedicated to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases, including radiography and CT scanners. This paper will provide guidance concerning disposable protective gear to be utilized, as well as on the cleaning and sanitation of radiology room and equipment.
自2019年12月起，中国报告了一种名为COVID-19的新型冠状病毒疾病。在3个月内，世界卫生组织将COVID-19定义为大流行病，全球病例超过37万例，死亡1.6万例。鉴于诊断检测在COVID-19期间的关键作用，本技术说明的目的是全面综合为管理疑似或确诊COVID-19患者而实施的方法。
在每个放射科服务中，制定一个强有力的计划以防止病毒传播给患者和科室工作人员应是根本。此外，鉴于物资供应有限，疫情的传播速度和发病率使得有必要优化个人防护设备和专用COVID-19设备的使用。
在进行X线摄影和CT成像管理时，工作人员应采取特殊预防措施，以限制患者与其他患者或专业人员之间的污染。
应设立一个隔离成像室，专门用于疑似或确诊的COVID-19病例，包括X线摄影和CT扫描仪。本文将提供有关应使用的一次性防护装备以及放射科房间和设备清洁消毒方面的指导。
