Although the gold standard for clinical diagnosis of COVID-19 remains the nucleic acid test for SARS-CoV-2, chest CT scans have been widely used in the diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 as simple and fast diagnostic methods. The latter has proven crucial when faced with a large volume of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients. The imaging manifestations of COVID-19 have some specific characteristics, hence a better understanding of imaging findings is of great value for detecting lesions, evaluating lesion severity, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and assessment of therapeutic options and prognosis. Contains 61 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including a collection of over 400 DR, CT, PET/CT and PET/MRI scans in Henan Provincial People’s Hospital (HPPH) Organized into four chapters by clinical subtypes of COVID-19 Details a large number of clinical images, with illustrations that are intended to demonstrate imaging findings of COVID-19 to serve as a reference manual for medical staff engaged in imaging and clinical work Ideal as a training material for academic education
