Abstract
The appearance of COVID-19 has set tasks for healthcare professionals related to rapid diagnosis and provision of medical care to patients. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection is based on the complex application of clinical, radiological and laboratory research methods[1].Radiation research methods used to diagnose patients with suspected COVID-19 and viral pneumonia of another nature include: radiography, computed tomography and ultrasound examination of the lungs. Radiation imaging data allow us to suspect lung damage of viral etiology (including COVID-19), influence the management of a particular patient, the treatment of complications or the formulation of an alternative diagnosis with a high probability of lung damage of viral etiology.
Highlights
Studies have demonstrated the high efficiency of computed tomography (CT) of the chest organs in the diagnosis of pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, and only in some studies this position was questioned[3,11,18]
Based on the results of the analysis of data obtained during the study in patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2-pneumonia, it was demonstrated that CT is a highly sensitive method for diagnosing pathological changes in lung tissue
The study was based on the results of a comprehensive clinical, X-ray examination of the chest, computed tomography and PCR test, as well as ultrasound examination of the lungs in 112 patients.The patients were monitored from May 2020 to May 2021 in the X-ray room of the Bukhara Regional Infectious Diseases Hospital.All patients underwent
Summary
Studies have demonstrated the high efficiency of computed tomography (CT) of the chest organs in the diagnosis of pneumonia caused by SARS-CoV-2, and only in some studies this position was questioned[3,11,18]. Based on the results of the analysis of data obtained during the study in patients with suspected SARS-CoV-2-pneumonia, it was demonstrated that CT is a highly sensitive method for diagnosing pathological changes in lung tissue. According to the results of the conducted complex of clinical examination, the question of the type of medical care and the amount of additional examination is decided. The diagnosis is established on the basis of a clinical examination, epidemiological history and laboratory results, as well as radiation methods. Study of the semiotics of pathological changes in the lungs according to CT data in the clinical symptoms of COVID-19
