Radiological imaging in patients tested for COVID-19
Project Lead: Dr Michelle Williams
COVID-19 can be identified by looking for changes in the lungs on chest x-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. Different imaging features may be associated with different patterns of disease. In addition, radiological imaging can identify features of other diseases that affect the heart and the lungs. These other diseases may affect the outcomes of patients with COVID-19. This study will review the radiological imaging of patients with COVID-19 and identify features of heart and lung disease which can be used to find patients who do better or worse after COVID-19 infection. This will help us identify the overlap between COVID-19 and other diseases affecting the heart and the lungs, and may help identify groups of patients who are at an increased risk.
