A British Society of Thoracic Imaging statement: considerations in designing local imaging diagnostic algorithms for the COVID-19 pandemic. A reply

Sir —We thank Khan et al. for their interest in our statement.1 We agree that there is a discrepancy in the article by Huang et al. between the results and Table 2.2 We should point out that the data collection section of the Methods in that paper states “We reviewed clinical charts, nursing reco rds, laboratory findings and chest X-rays for all patients with laboratory confirmed 2019-nCoV infection”; there is no mention of computed tomography (CT) in the methods, although they mention CT in their results and their images, while Table 2 mentions “bilateral involvement of chest radiograp hs” (CXRs).
