The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, which first occurred in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. These days, in China, chest CT is used for diagnosis of COVID-19, as an important complement to the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test. Because of contacting with a large number of suspected or probable cases closely during chest CT examination, radiographers are easily infected with COVID-19. This article included the rearrangement of CT examination room in fever clinic, the rearrangement of human resources in radiology department, and the drafting of new operating procedures for radiologists who carry out CT examination on COVID-19 patients. This article also introduced the emergency management procedures of the department of radiology during the outbreak, and the experience of infection prevention for the staff of the department of radiology.
2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）是由严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒 2 型（SARS-CoV-2）引起的新发呼吸道传染病，首次在中国武汉发生于 2019 年 12 月。目前，在中国，胸部 CT 用于 COVID-19 的诊断，是逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测的重要补充。由于在胸部 CT 检查中与大量疑似或可能的病例密切接触，放射技师容易感染 COVID-19。本文包括对发热门诊 CT 检查室的重新布局、放射科人力资源的重新安排，以及为对 COVID-19 患者进行 CT 检查的放射科医生制定新的操作流程。本文还介绍了放射科在疫情期间的应急管理程序，以及放射科工作人员的感染预防经验。
