Diagnostic and Therapeutic Radiology of the GI Tract, Liver, and Pancreas in Patients with COVID

COVID-19 pulmonary involvement has been extensively reported in the literature. Current data highlight how COVID-19 is a systemic disease, affecting many other organs, including the gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, and pancreatic organs. Recently these organs have been investigated using imaging modalities of ultrasound and, particularly, computed tomography. Radiological findings of the gastrointestinal, hepatic, and pancreatic involvement in patients with COVID-19 are generally nonspecific but are nonetheless helpful to evaluate and manage COVID-19 patients with organ involvement of these organs.
