Pneumonia Associated with 2019 Novel Coronavirus: Can Computed Tomographic Findings Help Predict the Prognosis of the Disease?
Kyung Soo Lee
Abstract
, while reporting computed tomography (CT) findings of two cases of the 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV or officially named by the World Health Organization as COVID-19) pneumonia, demonstrated that multiple areas of patchy consolidation and ground-glass opacity (GGO) are main CT findings of the infection. The lesions in their cases were typically distributed along the bronchovascular bundles or subpleural regions in the bilateral lungs.
