چکیده

Background: Coronavirus is detected utilising radiological images obtained by a simple scanning technique, such as computed tomography (CT). The current study looked at how chest CT changed during hospitalisation to better understand and diagnose COVID-19.Aim: To see if scan could help in COVID-19 patients with limited PCR diagnostic capabilities, early isolation, contact tracing, therapy. Also find the association of mortality High aspartate aminotransferase (AST) alanine (ALT) levels.Method: included 40 from Morgan Hospital Hilla. Two certified radiologists independently evaluated scans for patients, their findings were presented Hillah city only referral hospital approved government admit patients. Blood tests people examined ALT (SGOT) AST (SGPT) evaluate much damage they had livers.Results: percentages tree bud, LAP, pleural elusion, crazy paving honeycombing present lower percentage (4, 10%; 4, 6, 15%; 2, 5% respectively), while, bilateral involvement multiple lesions found higher (32, 80%; 36, 90% respectively). Consolidations GGO appeared median (12, 30%; 20, 50%) respectively. 12 shown high level SGOT (30%). 6 (15%) SGPT showed percentage, 4 (10%) have increased alkaline phosphate.Conclusion: We conclude that may aid identification triage suspected or confirmed cities capabilities.

Diagnostic value of chest CT in Iranian patients with suspected COVID-19

Background: In the current COVID-19 pandemic, there is a rising need for a rapid and reliable diagnostic tool. We hypothesized that chest computed tomography (CT) can be a potential alternative for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic value of chest CT and RT-PCR in Iranian patients with suspected COVID-19. Methods: In a...
