Abstract

Background:Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by a novel corona virus called SARS-CoV. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test remains the reference standard to make a definitive diagnosis. However few COVID-19 patients with pulmonary involvement on computed tomography have negative results of RT-PCR, owing to limitation of nucleic acid detection technologies, sampling errors and low virus load. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyse the key features of HRCT imaging in patients with COVID 19. Aims and objectives: To study various HRCT findings in COVID 19 patients.
