Comparison of Initial CT Findings and CO-RADS Stage in COVID-19 Patients with PCR, Inflammation and Coagulation Parameters in Diagnostic and Prognostic Perspectives

The use of a chest CT to perform CO-RADS staging would be beneficial in terms of providing both diagnostic and prognostic information. Published on 2022-07-08 12:02:11
