Typical CT imaging features for COVID-19. Unenhanced thin-section axial images of the lungs in a 52-year-old man with a positive RT-PCR (A to D) show bilateral, multifocal rounded (asterisks) and peripheral GGO (arrows) with superimposed interlobular septal thickening and visible intralobular lines ("crazy-paving"). Routine screening CT for diagnosis or exclusion of COVID-19 is currently not recommended by most professional organizations or the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
