Abstract EN
The outbreak of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) first occurred in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and spread across the country and worldwide quickly.
It has been defined as a major global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO).
As this is a novel virus, its diagnosis is crucial to clinical treatment and management.
To date, real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) has been recognized as the diagnostic criterion for COVID-19.
However, the results of RT-PCR can be complemented by the features obtained in chest computed tomography (CT).
In this review, we aim to discuss the diagnosis and main CT features of patients with COVID-19 based on the results of the published literature, in order to enhance the understanding of COVID-19 and provide more detailed information regarding treatment.
