目标。冠状病毒病(新冠肺炎)是一种全球性流行病。放射学文献中的研究表明，当用CT代替逆转录聚合酶链式反应试验时，CT在诊断新冠肺炎方面可能具有足够的敏感性和特异性；然而，这一建议与当前的社会指南背道而驰。本文的目的是批判性地回顾一些最常被引用的关于CT用于检测COVID-19的研究。结论到目前为止，新冠肺炎上的放射学文献包括有限的回顾性研究，这些研究没有证实使用CT作为新冠肺炎的诊断试验。
OBJECTIVE. Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a global pandemic. Studies in the radiology literature have suggested that CT might be sufficiently sensitive and specific in diagnosing COVID-19 when used in lieu of a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction test; however, this suggestion runs counter to current society guidelines. The purpose of this article is to critically review some of the most frequently cited studies on the use of CT for detecting COVID-19.CONCLUSION. To date, the radiology literature on COVID-19 has consisted of limited retrospective studies that do not substantiate the use of CT as a diagnostic test for COVID-19.
