Abstract

The purpose of the study. The aim of the present work was to study of possibilities of chest radiography and computed tomography of patients with COVID-19 with positive PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test.
Materials and methods. The research was conducted at Educational-Surgical Clinic of Azerbaijan Medical University. The results of chest radiography of 124 patients and computed tomography of 60 patients were included to the research. In 30 patients, who were tested with both examinations, the results were comparely appreciated.
Rezults. On the chest X ray the ground glass appearance that proved in 74(60%) patients was detected mostly. İn 24(19%) patients, consolidations, which were defined less than ground glass appearance, was detected. İn 26 (21%) patients chest x ray was normal. The lesions were found in peripheral(68%) and lower(72%) lung fields and mostly identified bilateral (56%) disturbancy. The pleural effusion was found in 3(2%) patients. On the CT also ground glass appearance that proved in 48(80%) patients was detected mostly. İn 21(35%) patients, consolidations were detected. Among other typical symptoms, pleural fibrotic bands were found in 25 (42%) patients, nodular ground glass appearance in 9 (15%) patients, and vascular dilatation in 12 (20%) patients. Pleural effusion was observed in 4 (7%) patients. No changes were detected on CT examination in 12 (20%) patients.
