Abstract

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) rapidly spread around the world after the first case detected in Wuhan, China, in December 2019 and caused a serious public health emergency. Although the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the standard diagnostic method of the disease, Chest Computed Tomography (CT) has gained an important role in the diagnosis due to RT-PCR assay has variable sensitivity. In this review, we aimed to describe the typical and atypical Chest CT manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia with cases at our hospital and thus increase the radiology experience in order to make a quick and accurate diagnosis.

ABSTRACT:The new type of coronavirus disease (Covid-19) rapidly spread around the world after the first case detected in Wuhan, China, in March 2019 and caused a serious public health emergency. Although the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) is the standard diagnostic method of the disease, Chest Computed Tomography (CT) has gained an important role in the diagnosis due to RT-PCR assay has variable sensitivity. In this review, we aimed to describe the typical and atypical Chest CT manifestations of Covid 19 pneumonia with cases at our hospital and thus increase the radiology experience in order to make a quick and accurate diagnosis. ÖZET: Yeni tip coronavirüs hastalığı (Covid-19) Mart 2019 tarihinde Çin'in Wuhan kentinde ilk vakanın çıkmasının ardından hızla kıtalar arasında yayılarak pandemi haline gelmiş ve ciddi bir halk sağlığı aciline neden olmuştur. Hastalığın standart tanı yöntemi olarak reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) testi kullanılmasına rağmen, duyarlılığının değişkenlik göstermesi nedeniyle Toraks Bilgisayarlı Tomografi (BT) tanıda önemli bir yer edinmiştir. Bu derlemeyle Covid 19 pnömonisinin tipik ve atipikToraks BT bulgularını kendi kliniğimizden örneklerle tanımlamayı ve böylece daha hızlı ve doğru tanı koymak adına radyoloji deneyimini arttırmayı amaçladık.
