Chest x-ray and computed tomography (CT) scans are important pillars for the diagnosis of lung involvement in COVID-19. The radiological image is typically characterized by peripheral, bilateral ground glass opacities (GGO), mainly located in the lower lobes. The limited sensitivity and specificity of these imaging techniques and possible atypical morphological or topographical presentations make it necessary to always rule out other infectious and non-infectious diseases. Therefore, it is fundamental to consider the patient's clinical and analytical data and the epidemiological circumstances.
胸部X光和计算机断层扫描(CT)是诊断COVID-19肺部受累情况的重要支柱。放射影像的典型特征是外周双侧磨玻璃影(GGO),主要位于下叶。这些成像技术的敏感性和特异性有限,以及可能出现的非典型形态或部位表现,使得始终有必要排除其他感染性和非感染性疾病。因此,综合考虑患者的临床和分析数据以及流行病学情况至关重要。
