COVID-19 commonly presents with upper respiratory symptoms; however, studies have shown that SARS-CoV-2 infection affects multiple organ systems. Here, we review the pathophysiology and imaging characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection in organ systems throughout the body and explore commonalities.
Familiarity with the underlying pathophysiology and imaging characteristics is essential for the radiologist to recognize these findings in patients with COVID-19 infection. Though pulmonary findings are the most prevalent presentation, COVID-19 may have multiple manifestations and recognition of the extrapulmonary manifestations is especially important because of the potential serious and long-term effects of COVID-19 on multiple organ systems.
COVID-19 通常以上呼吸道症状为特征;然而,研究表明,SARS-CoV-2 感染影响多个器官系统。在这里,我们回顾了 SARS-CoV-2 感染在全身各器官系统中的病理生理学和影像学特征,并探讨了它们的共同特征。
放射科医师熟悉潜在的病理生理学和影像学特征对于识别 COVID-19 感染患者的这些发现至关重要。虽然肺部表现最为常见,但 COVID-19 可能有多种表现,认识到肺外表现尤为重要,因为 COVID-19 对多个器官系统可能产生严重且长期的影响。
