Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) is a viral pandemic that started in China and has rapidly expanded worldwide. Typical clinical manifestations include fever, cough and dyspnea after an incubation period of 2-14 days. The diagnosis is based on RT-PCR test through a nasopharyngeal swab. Because of the pulmonary tropism of the virus, pneumonia is often encountered in symptomatic patients. Here, we review the pertinent clinical findings and the current published data describing chest CT findings in COVID-19 pneumonia, the diagnostic performance of CT for diagnosis, including differential diagnosis, as well the evolving role of imaging in this disease.
冠状病毒病-19（COVID-19）是一种始于中国并在全球迅速蔓延的病毒性大流行疾病。典型临床表现包括在2至14天潜伏期后出现发热、咳嗽和呼吸困难。诊断基于通过鼻咽拭子进行的逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测。由于该病毒具有肺嗜性，有症状的患者常出现肺炎。在此，我们综述了相关临床发现以及当前已发表的描述COVID-19肺炎胸部CT表现的数据、CT在诊断中的诊断效能（包括鉴别诊断）以及影像学在该疾病中不断演变的作用。
