“…É notável que os conhecimentos a respeito da COVID-19 estão se atualizando em uma velocidade surpreendente, permitindo que seja possível construir, cada vez mais, um perfil fiel sobre a doença. Entretanto, ainda há muitas dúvidas envolvendo o assunto, especialmente quanto ao melhor protocolo de condutas diagnósticas, como é o caso do uso da tomografia computadorizada (TC) de tórax que, ainda hoje, não é bem estabelecido (MATHEW et al, 2020).…”

“…Reforçam que a tomografia de tórax (TC) normal, mesmo apresentando maior sensibilidade que a radiografia, não exclui o diagnóstico de COVID-19 e que um exame alterado não confirma a suspeita clínica (AREVALO- RODRIGUEZ, et al, 2021). Em contrapartida, algumas literaturas defendem que na prática clínica, a TC é uma ferramenta essencial para o diagnóstico precoce, tratamento e acompanhamento da infecção (MATHEW, et al, 2020).…”

“…predominantemente subpleurais e periféricas, semelhantes ao caso, são as características típicas dessa infecção em cerca de 85%-73% dos pacientes (MATHEW, et al, 2020). Outras manifestações incluem opacidades reticulares, linhas subpleurais com espessamentos, sinal do halo invertido e espessamento pleural bem como achados.…”

“…According to R.Mathew (6), despite their high specificity, chest x-rays (Chest -Xrays or CXRs) are less sensitive than computed tomography (COMPUTED Tomography or CT) to detect opacities related to COVID-19 infection. Choi et al (7) evaluated 20 studies of both CT and CXRs of 17 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 (performed on the same day), having as one of their objectives, to evaluate the visibility of COVID-19 lesions on radiographs.…”

Overcoming the challenges posed by the severe acute respiratory syndrome caused by COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) has been one of the most recurrent themes when it comes to public health in a global context. Since March 2020, when it reached the stage of a pandemic by the World Health Organization, the world has been unfolding itself to overcome the challenges posed by this disease. As time goes by, new variants are demanding an even greater effort from health services to overcome the impacts caused by the disease. Several diagnostic methods have been developed with the aim of detecting the main signs of the disease as early as possible. The accelerated deterioration of the health status of patients affected by this disease reinforces the need for a conscious and timely action, in order to allow a rapid therapeutic intervention to propitiate a more favorable clinical outcome for the patient. However, each of the different methods developed over the past two years has advantages and disadvantages. Thus, the objective of this article is to present a scoping review of the literature currently available based on the criteria established by Amog et all (2) and published in the “Journal of Clinical Epidemiology” – volume 147, aiming to systematically summarize the existing knowledge and, based on the literature, discuss the importance as well as the advantages and disadvantages of adopting computed tomography images in the diagnosis of patients infected by COVID-19.

“…Early COVID-19 chest CT findings include bilateral multiple GGOs with a peripheral, subpleural, and posterior distribution, with or without consolidation. In the late phase, the consolidation patches, linear opacities, “crazy-paving” pattern, reversed halo sign, and vascular enlargement become more common[ 5 , 9 , 10 , 18 , 32 ]. The pulmonary histologic findings of COVID-19 resemble those of other coronavirus infections, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 1 (SARS-CoV-1) and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV)[ 4 ], which also shows similarities in chest CT findings[ 23 , 33 , 34 ].…”

Despite routine screening of patients for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms and signs at hospital entrances, patients may slip between the cracks and be incidentally discovered to have lung findings that could indicate COVID-19 infection on imaging obtained for other reasons. Multiple case reports and case series have been published to identify the pattern of this highly infectious disease. This article addresses the radiographic findings in different imaging modalities that may be incidentally seen in asymptomatic patients who carry COVID-19. In general, findings of COVID-19 infection may appear in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-CT, ultrasound, or plain X-rays that show lung or only apical or basal cuts. The identification of these characteristics by radiologists and clinicians is crucial because this would help in the early recognition of cases so that a rapid treatment protocol can be established, the immediate isolation to reduce community transmission, and the organization of close monitoring. Thus, it is important to both the patient and the physician that these findings are highlighted and reported.
