The radiology department was categorized as a "high risk area" during the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2003 and is similarly considered a "high risk area" during the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The purpose of infection control is to isolate patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 from uninfected people by utilizing separate equipment, spaces, and healthcare workers. Infection control measures should be prioritized to prevent the nosocomial spread of infection. We established a COVID-19 infection control team in our radiology department. The team's responsibilities include triaging patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19, performing imaging and reporting, using dedicated equipment, disinfecting the equipment and the immediate environment, and staff scheduling.
在 2003 年严重急性呼吸综合征（SARS）爆发期间，放射科被归类为“高风险区域”，而在当前的冠状病毒（COVID-19）大流行期间，放射科也被视为“高风险区域”。感染控制的目的是通过使用单独的设备、空间和医护人员将疑似或确诊 COVID-19 的患者与未感染者隔离开来。感染控制措施应优先考虑，以防止医院内感染的传播。我们在放射科成立了 COVID-19 感染控制小组。该团队的职责包括对确诊或疑似 COVID-19 的患者进行分诊，进行影像学检查和报告，使用专用设备，对设备和周围环境进行消毒，以及安排工作人员。
