The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has attracted extensive attention all around the world recently. Early screening, early diagnosis, early isolation, and early treatment remain the most effective prevention and control measures. Computed tomography (CT) plays a vital role in the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of COVID-19, especially in the early screening, with a higher sensitivity than that of real-time fluorescence RT-PCR. The combination of CT and artificial intelligence has the potential to help clinicians in improving the diagnostic accuracy and working efficiency.
2019冠状病毒病(coronavirus disease 2019，COVID-19)的暴发引起了全球的持续关注。早筛查、早诊断、早隔离及早治疗是目前最有效的防控手段。临床上，计算机体层摄影(computed tomography，CT)在对COVID-19患者的筛查、诊断、治疗和随访过程中均发挥着重要作用，特别是在筛查方面，其检测敏感性高于实时荧光RT-PCR检测。CT结合人工智能有望帮助临床医师提高诊断准确率和工作效率。.
