CONCLUSION: SARS-CoV-2 infection can be confirmed based on the patient's history, clinical manifestations, imaging characteristics, and laboratory tests. Image analysis, focused on the lesion features of each patient, included (a) distribution characteristics, (b) number of lobes involved, (c) lobe of lesion distribution, (d) Fig. 1 A 49-year-old man with history of recent travel to Wuhan presented with fever and cough for 6 days. Our study showed some common CT imaging features in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia: bilateral, multifocal ground glass opacities, with peripheral distribution. In our study, few patients initially negative for SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid test had bilateral ground glass opacities in chest CT scans. In a patient with a history of close contact with a SARS-CoV-2-infected patient, early manifestation of bilateral, multifocal, and peripheral ground glass opacities on a chest CT scan might be a sign of a 2019 novel coronavirus infection. ./cache/cord-332962-8y3t0r2d.txt ./txt/cord-332962-8y3t0r2d.txt
