Management of a diagnostic radiology department amid Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic
Arshed H Parry, Haseeb A Wani, Mudasira YaseenIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2021 31(5):192-195 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SAR-CoV-2) is a highly contagious infectious disease and spreads through aerosols and fomites. Health care personnel who are at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) pandemic are also at greater risk of contracting the infection. Mixing of uninfected people with infected people is potentially hazardous, especially in a radiology department. Implementation of meticulous operational changes, curtailment of nonurgent radiological work, rationa...

HRCT chest in COVID-19 patients: An initial experience from a private imaging center in western India
Jay Vikram Shah, Chirag Shah, Sambhav Shah, Nila Gandhi, Nitin Arun Dikshit, Palak Patel, Devam Parghi, Mayur PankhaniaIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2021 31(5):182-186 The COVID-19 pandemic began in late December in 2019 and has now reached to 216 countries with 1,08,42,028 confirmed cases and 5,21,277 deaths according to the WHO reports and 6,49,666 confirmed cases in india alone with 18,679 deaths (as on 04th july 2020) . RT-PCR has been considered the standard test for diagnosis of COVID 19. However, there has been reported a high false negative rate. This high false negative rate increases the risk of furthe...

The utility of HRCT in the initial diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia & #8212;An Indian perspective
Rohan Kashyape, Richa JainIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2021 31(5):178-181 A total of 1,499 patients who underwent High Resolution Computed tomography (HRCT) chest in the duration of 2 months for suspected COVID-19 pneumonia were included. Subjects included were those who had tested positive for the virus on RT-PCR, those with symptoms suspicious for COVID-19 infection awaiting results for the RT-PCR test or with negative result but strong clinical suspicion as well as those with exposure to proven patients based on contact tracing. Thus, both symptomatic as well as asymptomatic patients were included. The posit...

Spectrum of chest CT manifestations of coronavirus disease (COVID-19): A pictorial essay
Arshed H Parry, Haseeb A Wani, Naseer A Choh, Naveed N Shah, Majid JehangirIndian Journal of Radiology and Imaging 2021 31(5):170-177 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is an enveloped single-stranded RNA virus belonging to the family of betacoronaviruses. Chest computed tomography (CT) has helped us in understanding this new disease. Typical CT features of COVID-19 pneumonia are ground-glass opacities (GGO), crazy paving pattern and GGO with superimposed consolidation with a basal, posterior and peripheral lung predilection...

Diagnostic accuracy and false-positive rate of chest CT as compared to RT-PCR in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia: A prospective cohort of 612 cases from India and review of literature
Conclusion: High diagnostic accuracy of chest CT findings with typical and relatively atypical CT manifestations of COVID-19 leads to a low rate of missed diagnosis. Normal chest CT can be found in RT-PCR positive COVID-19 cases, and typical CT manifestations can be found in RT-PCR negative cases. Therefore, a combination of both CT and RT-PCR for future follow-up, management and medical surveillance is recommended considering the false-positive results of chest CT in the diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia.
