Сonsidering the importance of Reverse Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) as a reference to detect COVID-19, computed tomography (CT) has some advantage to help diagnosing this disease during COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we reviewed the diagnostic points in radiology for patients with COVID-19. The use of RT-PCR and chest CT is beneficial and reliable to diagnose COVID-19 patients with suspected signs and symptoms. Not only radiological finding using RT-PCR and CT can help physician in the detection and diagnosis but also for monitoring of the COVID-19 stages.COVID-19 pneumonia shows more GGO, consolidation and crazy-paving especially in lower zones through CT scan.Pregnant women with COVID-19 mostly develop bilateral pleural effusion and consolidation, so CT scans can play an important role for detecting cases of pregnant women with COVID-19 but totally, radiological findings in pregnant involved with COVID-19 is not different with those of non-pregnant cases with COVID-19. |
