Abstract
This study has focused on the systematic investigation of radiological signs and drug delivery in patients affected by Covid-19. Researchers believe that the pneumonia caused by the infection of Covid-19 (NCIP) started from the seafood market in Wuhan, by the time this article was published, the coronavirus had spread in 28 countries. Evidence shows that the transmission of the corona virus can occur during the epidemic period. The incubation period of the disease is the period of time when a person is unaware of his disease, but is a carrier of the disease. The incubation period of the new corona virus, Covid-19, is estimated to be about 5.2 days. This has caused the rapid spread of the coronavirus disease. Also, after recovering from this disease for some time, there is a possibility of transmission of the disease through the saliva of a patient with NCIP. Since February 5, 2020, more than 25,000 cases of corona virus have been reported and the number of dead patients is increasing. Medical imaging plays an important role in assessing the severity of the Covid-19 infection. Radiologists should be well aware of the imaging findings of this novel coronavirus. Evidence also suggests that chest CT and ultrasound are better at differentiating COVID-19 infection from other respiratory problems. Its usefulness may therefore be limited to ruling out COVID-19 infection rather than distinguishing it from other causes of lung infection. In addition, chest CT imaging had poor sensitivity and high specificity for detecting asymptomatic individuals.
