Abstract

Coronaviruses are serious pathogens that may harm both people and animals. At the end of 2019, it was discovered that a new coronavirus was responsible for an outbreak of pneumonia cases in Wuhan, China. As it disseminated quickly, an epidemic in China resulted in a pandemic that affected the entire world. In February 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) designated the virus-related outbreak as COVID-19, short for coronavirus disease 2019. On January 30, 2020, the WHO categorized the COVID-19 pandemic as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
RT-PCR is the gold standard test for diagnosing COVID-19. But this lab test has many drawbacks, such as the potential for false negative results, the relatively low sensitivity of (60% to 71%), the lack of accessibility, and considering a time-consuming procedure.
With a sensitivity of up to 98%, HRCT is essential for diagnosing COVID-19 pneumonia, especially in patients who are asymptomatic or have negative PCR results. Additionally, HRCT scans are helpful in determining the extent of damage and tracking the course of the illness.Therefore, owing to the essential role of chest HRCT, radiologists should have a greater understanding of the typical and atypical HRCT features associated with this disease.
