Case reports of incidental findings in COVID-19 CT-diagnostics

Abstract

Due to the pandemic pneumonia caused by COVID-19, computed tomography (CT) has come to be considered the best imaging modality commonly used for early diagnosis and management of patients with Covid19 pneumonia. During the pandemic, the global health care workload increased significantly, and there was a significant increase in thoracic CT studies. Analysis and documentation of such images has become a routine process of assessing the presence and size of typical patterns of COVID-19 pneumonia, which with multiplicity of studies and short time, resembles screening diagnostics. Nevertheless, cases of primary detection of additional pathology against the background of pneumonia are not uncommon in practice. This article presents 3 clinical examples of additional pathology detection in the clinical and radiological picture of COVID-19 pneumonia.
