Ground-glass opacity is a very frequent and unspecified finding in chest computed tomography. Therefore, it admits a wide range of differential diagnoses in the acute context, from viral pneumonias such as influenza virus, coronavirus disease 2019 and cytomegalovirus and even non-infectious lesions, such as vaping, pulmonary infarction, alveolar hemorrhage and pulmonary edema. For this diagnostic differentiation, ground glass must be correlated with other findings in imaging tests, with laboratory tests and with the patients' clinical condition. In the context of a pandemic, it is extremely important to remember the other pathologies with similar findings to coronavirus disease 2019 in the imaging exams.
磨玻璃影是胸部计算机断层扫描中非常常见且未特定的发现。因此，在急性情况下，它可以有广泛的鉴别诊断，从病毒性肺炎，如流感病毒、冠状病毒病 2019 和巨细胞病毒，甚至非传染性病变，如蒸气、肺梗死、肺泡出血和肺水肿。为了进行这种诊断区分，磨玻璃影必须与影像学检查中的其他发现、实验室检查和患者的临床情况相关联。在大流行期间，非常重要的是要记住影像学检查中与冠状病毒病 2019 具有相似发现的其他病理学。
