CLINICAL AND RADIOLOGICAL SIGNS OF A NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION COVID-19

Purpose. To evaluate the radiological patterns of a new COVID-19 coronavirus infection.
Materials and methods. Review of literature sources.
Results. COVID-19 causes the acute severe viral pneumonia. Radiological diagnostics of COVID-19 is very important, because CT can be the first study that shows the signs of viral lung lesion, and allows to assess the severity of thelesion and adverse prognostic signs of its further development. The initial CT pattern of COVID-19 is a pattern of infiltration of secondary pulmonary lobules on the type of «frosted glass» (a symptom of «dry leaf») with a subsequent decrease in the volume of lesions at favorable results, or their increase, accession of CT pattern of «cobblestone road» and the appearance in.
Conclusions: the accumulation of experience in clinical and radiation studies of patients with COVID-19 made it possible to determine the radiation semiotics of changes. It is important to determine the tactics of treating changes in the lungs.
