Abstract
Radiological investigations play an important role in the treatment course of patients with coronavirus disease 2019
(COVID-19) and radiologists should be familiar with the imaging characteristics. Being an integral component of the healthcare system, radiology departments have made adaptations to enhance infection control and strengthen the service. In this article, we review the radiological features of COVID-19 on chest radiography and computed tomography, and share experiences on the adaptive approach of radiology departments amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
Key Words: Coronavirus; COVID-19; Radiography; Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2
