After its origin in Wuhan, China, coronavirus related respiratory illness spread
across the globe, being declared as a pandemic by WHO on March 13, 2020. Because
it is acquired via respiratory droplets, community spread is responsible for the
recent global crisis. The current diagnostic options include real-time polymerase
chain reaction (RT-PCR) and a few serology tests, including but not limited to
the recently approved five minutes serology tests. The disease presents as a
lower respiratory tract illness. Anecdotal experiences have shown that imaging
characteristics are crucial to diagnosis as radiological evidence of disease
appears prior to clinical manifestations and tends to evolve over time, which can
be useful in predicting the stage of the disease. CT scan is more sensitive than
a chest X-ray in highlighting these changes.
