Comparison of Chest CT Findings Related to COVID-19 With RSNA and BSTI Guidelines

Comparison of Chest CT Findings Related to COVID-19 With RSNA and BSTI Guidelines: Correlation Between Radiologists

To present the first admission chest computed tomography (CT) findings of patients followed up with a diagnosis of COVID-19, and to compare the two classification systems by evaluating these findings according to the BSTI and RSNA guidelines.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Covid19; Infection Viral; CT Scan

Detailed Description

A total of 764 adult patients who were diagnosed with COVID-19 inpatient of researchers' hospital 2020 were included in this study. The findings were recorded as typical, indeterminate, and atypical by the RSNA guidelines and as classical COVID-19, possible COVID-19, indeterminate, and non-COVID-19 by the BSTI classification. The data obtained according to both classification systems were compared with each other.
