Imaging plays an important role in the detection of coronavirus (COVID-19) pneumonia in both managing the disease and evaluating the complications. Imaging with chest computed tomography (CT) can also have a potential predictive and prognostic role in COVID-19 patient outcomes. The aim of this pictorial review is to describe the role of imaging with chest X-ray (CXR), lung ultrasound (LUS), and CT in the diagnosis and management of COVID-19 pneumonia, the current indications, the scores proposed for each modality, the advantages/limitations of each modality and their role in detecting complications, and the histopathological correlations.

Pericardial masses include cysts, pericardial tumours, and pericardial haematomas. Pericardial cysts are benign lesions commonly located in the right cardiophrenic angle that remain typically asymptomatic and are incidentally found in chest X-ray or chest computed tomography but might cause pressure symptoms or become infected, thus requiring surgical management. Hydatid cysts due to echinococcosis are the most common acquired pericardial cysts, characterized by wall calcification, and indicate surgery.

Foreign body aspiration (FBA) is a common incidence in young children. Leeches are rarely reported as FBA at any age. This study describes a 15-year-old female who presented with hemoptysis, hematemesis, coughs, melena, and anemia seven months prior to admission. Chest X-ray showed a round hyperdensity in the right lower lobe. A chest computed tomography (CT) demonstrated an area of consolidation and surrounding ground glass opacities in the right lower lobe. Hematological investigations revealed anemia. Finally, bronchoscopy was performed and a 5 cm leech was found within the rightB7-8bronchus and removed by forceps and a Dormia basket.

Diagnostic Modalities

Nepal is also affected by Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic which is likely to last for several months. The Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction is the current gold standard diagnostic test. Chest X-ray or Computed Tomography scan is considered inappropriate according to most society recommendations for screening though are emerging as frontline diagnostic modalities in conjunction with clinical history and laboratory parameters.Multiple guidelines have been released by prominent radiological societies worldwide to facilitate preparedness of radiology department in the war against COVID-19. Based on these, the Nepal Radiologists’ Association has proposed its guidelines, endorsed by the Nepal Medical Council, practical in our context, with the aim to limit exposure to the infection while ensuring best use of imaging, protection of health care personnel and other patients and maintenance of uninterrupted radiology department operations.This review article aims to summarize the highlights from various guidelines focusing on role of chest X-ray and Computed Tomography including the indications, specific findings, reporting format and important differentials and also addresses the safety issues.

COVID-19 has rapidly emerged as a pandemic threatening lives and healthcare systems worldwide.With the emergence of the disease in Nepal, all faculties of medicine need to be well prepared toface the challenge. Fortunately, now plenty of research is available to facilitate our preparednessin the war against COVID-19. The reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction is the currentgold standard diagnostic test and chest Computed Tomography scan for screening the disease isconsidered inappropriate by most society recommendations. The Nepal Radiologists’ Associationhas proposed its guidelines which have been endorsed by the Nepal Medical Council. This articleaims to summarize the role of imaging focusing on chest X-ray and Computed Tomography scanincluding the indications, specific findings, and important differentials. Imaging needs to be donetaking necessary precautions, to minimize disease transmission, protect health care personnel, andpreserve health care system functioning.
