NCCID has put in place mechanisms to collate all chest imaging and prespecified clinical data from every UK hospital where patients undergo a RT-PCR test for COVID-19. The NCCID data and image transfer solutions are robust and secure, including those having been adapted from techniques tried and tested on numerous research studies involving large-scale medical image collection (9) . NCCID will collect chest radiographs in all RT-PCR COVID-19 positive patients in hospitals throughout the UK. 2) Computed tomography chest imaging: NCCID will collect all chest CT imaging in RT-PCR COVID-19 positive patients. 3) For all RT-PCR COVID-19 positive patients NCCID will acquire all chest imaging performed in the previous 3 years.	./cache/cord-333131-affb4yln.txt	./txt/cord-333131-affb4yln.txt
