CT compared with RT-PCR
- Correlation of Chest CT and RT-PCR tests for COVID-19 in China: A Report of 1014 Cases. The study concludes that chest CT has a higher sensitivity for diagnosis of COVID-19 compared to RT-PCR and can therefore be used as a triage before RT-PCR.
- Performance of radiologists in distinguishing COVID-19 from viral pneumonia on chest CT. Radiologists can distinguished COVID-19 from viral pneumonia on chest CT with high specificity but moderate sensitivity.
