Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged in early December 2019 in China, as an acute lower respiratory tract infection and spread rapidly worldwide being declared a pandemic in March 2020. Chest-computed tomography (CT) has been utilized in different clinical settings of COVID-19 patients; however, COVID-19 imaging appearance is highly variable and nonspecific. Indeed, many pulmonary infections and non-infectious diseases can show similar CT findings and mimic COVID-19 pneumonia. In this review, we discuss clinical conditions that share a similar imaging appearance with COVID-19 pneumonia, in order to identify imaging and clinical characteristics useful in the differential diagnosis.
2019 年 12 月初，中国出现了 2019 年冠状病毒病（COVID-19），这是一种急性下呼吸道感染病，并迅速在全球范围内传播，2020 年 3 月被宣布为大流行。胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）已用于 COVID-19 患者的不同临床环境中；然而，COVID-19 的影像学表现高度可变且非特异性。实际上，许多肺部感染和非传染性疾病都可能显示出类似的 CT 发现并模仿 COVID-19 肺炎。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了与 COVID-19 肺炎具有相似影像学表现的临床情况，以便确定有助于鉴别诊断的影像学和临床特征。
