Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate agreements between COVID-19 reporting systems and radiologists.
Materials and Methods: A total of 100 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 cases (49 males, 51 females; age range 19-88 years) were retrospectively collected. Firstly, computed tomography (CT) images were evaluated by two radiologists independently and blinded to clinical notes and laboratory and radiological reports and they gave their impressions independently according to four COVID-19 reporting systems, then all CTs were interpreted again by the two radiologists for extracting CT features at the same session by consensus.
Results: Bilateral, lower lobe, peripheral, dorsal and multifocal lung involvements were predominantly seen, and ground-glass opacities (GGOs) were the most common CT imaging finding in the current study. Reporting systems showed fair to moderate agreements between senior and junior raters (0.246-0.490, p
