Since asymptomatic infections as "covert transmitter", and some patients can progress rapidly in the short term, it is essential to pay attention to the diagnosis and surveillance of asymptomatic patients with SARS-COV2 infection. CT scan has great value in screening and detecting patients with COVID-19 pneumonia, especially in the highly suspected or probable asymptomatic cases with negative RT-PCR for SARS-COV2. This study aimed to detect incidentally COVID-19 pneumonia on medical imaging for patients consulting for other reasons.
由于无症状感染者作为“隐性传播者”，且部分患者可在短期内迅速进展，因此关注新型冠状病毒感染无症状患者的诊断和监测至关重要。CT扫描在筛查和检测新冠肺炎患者方面具有重要价值，尤其是对于新型冠状病毒逆转录聚合酶链反应（RT-PCR）检测呈阴性的高度疑似或可能的无症状病例。本研究旨在对因其他原因就诊的患者进行医学影像检查时偶然发现新冠肺炎。
