Since December 2019, an increasing number of pneumonia cases caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) emerged in Wuhan, Hubei, China, and subsequently, an outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) swept the globe [1] [2] [3] [4] . Hence, it is very necessary to systematically analyze the chest CT findings associated with this disease systematically, for the timely isolation, COVID-19 RT-PCR and respiratory care of patients, and early implementation of infection prevention and control measures. To fully understand and early discriminate the CT features of this disease in its early stages, we collected initial chest CT data from confirmed COVID-19 patients who did not receive any antiviral treatment mainly from Chongqing Three Gorges Central Hospital for analysis. ./cache/cord-309930-zlzuoeh2.txt ./txt/cord-309930-zlzuoeh2.txt
