Abstract
In 21st century, the year 2020 was expected with much development in India as well many other countries. But unfortunately, the world is facing many natural calamities. World is taking steps towards rescue mission of the disasters. Among of those calamities, deadly Corona Virus remains still all over the world as pandemic disease. Even the developed countries are struggling to come back to its normal routine. India is a country with developing technologies. Vaccines are yet to be developed for treatment of this Novel Corona Virus. As a diagnostic tool, Nasopharyngeal and Oropharyngeal swabs are taken from the person and tested using RT-PCR. This test is not 100 percent accurate. Confirmed COVID patients after few days are undergoing the medical imaging. This diagnostic imaging technique helps in showing the progression of this virus spread in Upper and Lower respiratory system. Chest Radiography is low cost modality but its sensitivity towards observation is 69%. Lung Ultrasound is used in Intensive Care patients and not used for routine diagnosing purpose. Computed Tomography plays a crucial role in three-dimensional chest imaging of COVID-19 patients. The sensitivity of CT is 98%. The aim of this paper is to consider CT as a tool for diagnosing COVID-19 patient than using the standard tool RT-PCR. A brief knowledge about imaging modality like X-ray, Ultrasound and Computed Tomography when used against COVID patient is explained. This paper gives reason for the ideal use of CT diagnosis for COVID 19.
Highlights
The foundation of the year 2020 is with many global issues
Many researchers are involved in preparing vaccine for this deadly virus infection
There arises many contradictions of using imaging modalities like X-rays, Ultrasound and Computed tomography for COVID-19 patients. In these pandemic times, we need to understand the situation and take necessary action for diagnosing and steps needed to recover from the Novel Corona Virus
Summary
The foundation of the year 2020 is with many global issues. The most important issue among those are Novel Corona Virus (COVID-19). Asymptomatic patients cannot be found that much which may result in severe situation for many All symptoms of this virus are infecting throat, respiratory tract and lungs. CT image may give better sensitivity than RT-PCR testing for novel corona virus. By the pattern of lung, it is found by the radiologists to report regarding the progression of Corona virus In china, they were able to diagnose and report more number of infected cases with the help of imaging modality like Computed Tomography. Chest Computed Tomography gives better results even for false negative RT-PCR test reports. Lung Computed Tomography is considered a the better imaging modality for early diagnosis of pulmonary infection, which may cause SARS-. The deposition of radiation has the potential to control the inflammatory response of the virus cell which is multiplying rapidly
