COVID-19 Diagnostic Pathway – The Role of Radiology
We should treat COVID-19 in the same way we treat all other lower respiratory tract infections:
- Perform a chest x-ray
- Perform a chest CT scan in patients where there is severe oxygenation failure but unremarkable or normal chest radiograph
- Radiography is an unspecific test for COVID-19 and should be used in conjunction with Viral PCR to confirm the diagnosis
