Chest-CT scans are preferred most common routine to determine spread and severity disease. The present study aims demonstrate comparative analysis chest CT as diagnostic tests COVID-19 detection. In this prospective single-center total 979 patients (Male= 614, female= 365) from Tumkur, Karnataka (India) who were suspected novel coronavirus underwent both assay.Patients with positive abnormalities images identified. negative chest-CT vice versa screened accuracy techniques. Out patients, 674 (68.85%) had index scores, whereas 613 (62.61%) tests. Most (47%) age group 36-55 years population having hypertension (8.27%) diabetes (6.44%). Corad score revealed 88.36% (865) high infection. reports (31.15%; 305/979), was observed 7.25% indicating higher sensitivity technique. A scan superior than that RT-PCR. can be used asa confirmatory suspects whose results negative.
