On one hand, Ai et al [3] studied 1014 patients in Wuhan, China and concluded that the high sensitivity of chest computed tomography (CT) imaging in detecting COVID-19 infection might make it a suitable tool for screening purposes. Chest radiography is not advisable for first line use for detection of COVID-19 infection due to a reduced ability to demonstrate ground-glass opacities, an early finding in this disease (Figure 1) [1] . Ng et al [10] studied non-contrast chest CT images of 21 COVID-19 patients and reported the most commonly observed finding to be peripheral ground-glass opacification. ./cache/cord-317242-e7000i2u.txt ./txt/cord-317242-e7000i2u.txt
