摘要

Abstract

Novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV)

also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)

is a pathogen that has caused a rapidly spreading pandemic all over the world. The primary mean of transmission is inhalation with a predilection for respiratory system involvement

especially in the distal airways. The disease that arises from this novel coronavirus is named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 may have a rapid and devastating course in some cases leading to severe complications and death. Radiological imaging methods have an invaluable role in diagnosis

follow-up

and treatment. In this review

radiological imaging findings of COVID-19 have been systematically reviewed based on the published literature so far. Radiologic reporting templates are also emphasized from a different point of view

considering specific distinctive patterns of involvement.
