Abstract

Despite the fact that the cornerstone role in verification of the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) laboratory studies for SARS-CoV-2 RNA using nucleic acid amplification techniques, radiologic diagnostic techniques play an important role in detecting changes caused by coronavirus infection (COVID-19), differential diagnosis with other lung diseases, determination of the degree of expression and dynamics of changes, evaluation of the effectiveness of the therapy carried out and their complications. The main role of all radiation diagnostic methods in the suspected presence of changes in the lungs associated with the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) belongs to computed tomography. At the same time, some patients for  various reasons cannot perform computed tomography, and in these cases it is possible to use radiography to detect severe forms of pneumonias that require hospitalization, as well as to assess the dynamics of the process. The purpose of this review article is to describe the most common radiographic manifestations of new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) in the lungs.
