- Abstract
Much has been learned since the findings of Covid-19's imaging were published in early 2020. Many classification systems have been developed based on characteristic imaging findings to report imaging studies. As a result of increased performance in imaging and improved access to RT-PCR (Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction) testing, imaging is only indicated for patients with more severe disease or worsening breathing. Although the infection occurs in a spectrum ranging from asymptomatic to severe and sometimes fatal disease, acute lung injury is the most common. Imaging initially emerged with CT (Computed Tomography) as an alternative and subsequently played a more limited role based on specific indications, possibly as a superior test compared to RT-PCR. Various classification and reporting schemes have been developed for triage in cases where RT-PCR availability is limited and its performance is uncertain. Interobserver agreement for features with typical findings unique to Covid-19 and features that suggest an alternative diagnosis is high in a large number of studies. Some studies evaluating the degree of lung involvement on chest X-ray and CT have correlated with critical illness and the need for mechanical ventilation. In addition to pulmonary manifestations, cardiovascular complications such as thromboembolism and myocarditis have sometimes been attributed to Covid-19, which contributes to neurological and abdominal manifestations. Finally, artificial intelligence shows promise in both the diagnosis and prognosis of Covid-19 pneumonia in terms of both radiography and CT.
