Abstract

The 2019 new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an important public health issue that spreads worldwide. Though the gold standard real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test is used in diagnosis, thorax computed tomography (CT) is an important guide especially in patients with clinical symptoms and the test is negative. The purpose of this review is to summarize the findings found in thorax CT, which is increasingly used in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Abstract

2019 yeni koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19), tüm dünyaya yayılan önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Tanıda altın standart real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testi olsa da, özellikle klinik semptomu olup testin negatif geldiği hastalarda toraks bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) önemli bir yol göstericidir. Bu derlemenin amacı, COVID-19’un tanısında giderek daha fazla kullanılan toraks BT’de saptanan bulguları özetlemektir.
