Abstract

Abstract: Objective To analysis the incipient characteristic manifestations of new coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) suggested by the chest computed tomography (CT) scan and provide imaging support for early clinical diagnosis. Methods Retrospective analysis of early CT manifestations of 25 cases of COVID-19. Results The early chest CT manifestations of COVID-19 were most commonly ground glass opacity, with thickened blood vessels and dilated bronchioles. The lesions were mostly distributed in the periphery of the lungs or under the pleura. Conclusion The early CT scanning of COVID-19 patients showed characteristic imaging manifestation, which can provide imaging support for early clinical diagnosis.

Key words: COVID-19, X-ray, computed tomography
