China was the epicenter for the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), which quickly spread to other Asian countries and later to Western countries; subsequently, COVID-19 was categorized as a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Diagnosis primarily depends on viral detection in respiratory samples; however, available kits are limited, lack high sensitivity, and have a long turnaround time for providing results. In this scenario, computed tomography has emerged as an efficient and available high-sensitivity method, allowing radiologists to readily recognize findings related to COVID-19. The objective of this article is to demonstrate the main tomographic findings in symptomatic respiratory patients with COVID-19 to assist medical professionals during this critical moment.
中国是新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的疫情中心，该病迅速蔓延至其他亚洲国家，随后又传播到西方国家；随后，COVID-19被世界卫生组织列为大流行病。诊断主要依赖于呼吸道样本中的病毒检测；然而，现有的检测试剂盒数量有限，缺乏高灵敏度，且出具结果的周转时间较长。在这种情况下，计算机断层扫描已成为一种高效且可用的高灵敏度方法，使放射科医生能够轻松识别与COVID-19相关的影像表现。本文的目的是展示有症状的COVID-19呼吸道患者的主要断层扫描影像表现，以便在这一关键时刻为医学专业人员提供帮助。
