T561 0-69 Sentence denotes Chest CT is an ideal diagnostic tool for identifying viral pneumonia.
T562 70-141 Sentence denotes The sensitivity of chest CT is far superior to that of X-ray screening.
T563 142-304 Sentence denotes The chest CT findings associated with COVID-19-infected patients include characteristic patchy infiltration that later progresses to ground-glass opacities (158).
T564 305-396 Sentence denotes Early manifestations of COVID-19 pneumonia might not be evident in X-ray chest radiography.
T565 397-523 Sentence denotes In such situations, a chest CT examination can be performed, as it is considered highly specific for COVID-19 pneumonia (118).
T566 524-642 Sentence denotes Those patients having COVID-19 pneumonia will exhibit the typical ground-glass opacity in their chest CT images (154).
T567 643-720 Sentence denotes The patients infected with COVID-19 had elevated plasma angiotensin 2 levels.
T568 721-874 Sentence denotes The level of angiotensin 2 was found to be linearly associated with viral load and lung injury, indicating its potential as a diagnostic biomarker (121).
T569 875-999 Sentence denotes The chest CT imaging abnormalities associated with COVID-19 pneumonia have also been observed even in asymptomatic patients.
T570 1000-1205 Sentence denotes These abnormalities progress from the initial focal unilateral to diffuse bilateral ground-glass opacities and will further progress to or coexist with lung consolidation changes within 1 to 3 weeks (159).
T571 1206-1280 Sentence denotes The role played by radiologists in the current scenario is very important.
T572 1281-1383 Sentence denotes Radiologists can help in the early diagnosis of lung abnormalities associated with COVID-19 pneumonia.
T573 1384-1566 Sentence denotes They can also help in the evaluation of disease severity, identifying its progression to acute respiratory distress syndrome and the presence of secondary bacterial infections (160).
T574 1567-1865 Sentence denotes Even though chest CT is considered an essential diagnostic tool for COVID-19, the extensive use of CT for screening purposes in the suspected individuals might be associated with a disproportionate risk-benefit ratio due to increased radiation exposure as well as increased risk of cross-infection.
T575 1866-1991 Sentence denotes Hence, the use of CT for early diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection in high-risk groups should be done with great caution (292).
