Asymptomatic patients and infected patients with normal chest CT imaging are considered carriers of SARS-CoV-2. Before a diagnosis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is made, these patients with negative chest CT findings may be ignored, causing the possibility of virus transmission. For patients with suspected infections, reliable epidemiological information and clinical symptoms, clinical management is necessary even when the chest CT is negative.
无症状患者和胸部 CT 影像正常的感染患者被认为是 SARS-CoV-2 的携带者。在做出 2019 年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)诊断之前,这些胸部 CT 检查结果为阴性的患者可能会被忽视,从而导致病毒传播的可能性。对于疑似感染的患者,即使胸部 CT 为阴性,也需要可靠的流行病学信息和临床症状进行临床管理。
