Abstract
MARTIN-GARCIA, Ignacio et al. COVID-19: a radiological review in the middle of the pandemic. Rev. argent. radiol. [online]. 2022, vol.86, n.4, pp.227-239. ISSN 1852-9992. http://dx.doi.org/10.24875/rar.m22000035.
The current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has changed the way we work and interact. It was notified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, in December 2019. There had been two previous major outbreaks of Coronavirus: SARS in 2002-2003 and MERS in 2012. This article aims to be a brief review of some aspects of the COVID-19 infection from the pathophysiological aspects, imaging findings, as well as the main indications for the imaging, although these will always be individualized. We cannot ignore the possibility that some of these patients may present evolution to pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, we will mention some recommendations to protect ourselves in our workplace.
