Objective: Determining the importance of computed tomography in diagnosing pulmonary infection caused by COVID-19 infection, comparing computed tomography and computed tomography in detecting pathological changes caused by COVID-19 infection, and proving the sensitivity and specificity of computed tomography.
Method: The results of prospective and retrospective studies were used to write this review article by systematic selection on Internet scientific databases: PubMed, Google Scholar, and Crossref.
Results: Based on a systematic review of the literature, it was established that chest CR is the first diagnostic method of choice due to its wide availability.
Conclusion: CT is a highly sensitive diagnostic method recommended for more severe stages of the disease and accelerated exacerbation of the disease in patients with slow regression of radiographic findings and patients recovering from COVID-19 with impaired lung function.
Key words: COVID-19, chest CT, lung abnormalities, sensitivity, specificity
