The Role of Chest Imaging in Patient Management during the COVID-19 Pandemic
A Multinational Consensus Statement from the Fleischner Society
- Imaging is not indicated in patients with suspected COVID-19 and mild clinical features unless they are at risk for disease progression.
- Imaging is indicated in a patient with COVID-19 and worsening respiratory status.
- In a resource-constrained environment, imaging is indicated for medical triage of patients with suspected COVID-19 who present with moderate-severe clinical features and a high pre-test probability of disease
