The use of simulation-CT ’s as acoronavirus disease 2019screening tool during thesevere acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2pandemic

With great interest, we have read the publication of Vitullo et al, regarding the use of simulation-CT ’s as an opportunistic coronavirus disease 2019 screening tool during the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic (1). Within the Iridium Network, a radiation therapy (RT) department consisting of 10 linear accelerators, a very similar approach (Figure 1) was adopted. In this short communication, we want to describe our methodology and report the outcome in a population of 724 patients.
