Sumario:This rapid advice guide examines the evidence and makes recommendations for the use of chest imaging in adult patients with suspected, probable or confirmed COVID-19, including chest radiography, computed tomography and lung ultrasound. In its first edition this document was intended to be a practical guide for health care professionals involved in the care pathway of COVID-19, from the time of presentation to a health facility to home discharge. This second edition of the guide expands the scope to also address follow-up after hospital discharge. The guidance is relevant to patients with different levels of disease severity, from asymptomatic individuals to critically ill patients.
