Abstract
COVID-19 (Corona Virus Disease-19) is a zoonotic illness first reported in the city of Wuhan, China in December 2019, and is now officially a global pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization. The infection is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). COVID-19 infected patients can be asymptomatic carriers or present with mild-to-severe respiratory symptoms. Imaging, including computed tomography is not recommended to screen/diagnose COVID-19 infections, but plays an important role in management of these patients, and to rule out alternative diagnoses or coexistent diseases. In our multicenter case series, we outline the clinical presentations and illustrate the most common imaging manifestations in patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

Indeterminate features include multifocal, diffuse, perihilar, or unilateral GGOs with nonrounded, nonperipheral distribution. Atypical features include isolated consolidations, tree-in-bud opacities, cavitation, and smooth interlobular septal thickening with pleural effusion.

Pattern of GGOs and consolidative opacities seen in COVID-19 patients can mimic those of other viral pneumonias, particularly influenza, and organizing pneumonia due to other causes such as bacterial infection, drug toxicity, inhalation injury, connective tissue disease, and idiopathic.
