In this report, we will discuss the clinical relevance of each test and the current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and American College of Radiology recommendations regarding the use of imaging in the diagnosis of COVID-19. Sensitivity of CT scans • Many studies have reported high sensitivity of CT scans and suggested its valuable use in aiding the diagnosis of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) alongside reverse transcriptase PCR. • Centers for Disease Control & Prevention and the American College of Radiology recommend against the use of CT as well as CXR for diagnosis and that reverse transcriptase PCR is the reference test for diagnosing of COVID-19. Discusses the importance of background chest computed tomography (CT) being used for diagnosis of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) alongside reverse transcriptase PCR.	./cache/cord-274568-flqc3jjd.txt	./txt/cord-274568-flqc3jjd.txt
