Main Article Content
Abstract
Chest computed tomography (CT) plays a role in supporting the diagnosis, grading the severity of disease,
aiding in monitoring the clinical progression, and evaluating the treatment outcomes of Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) patients. This is a report of five confirmed cases of Coronavirus 2019 patients who underwent chest computed tomography
at Sena Hospital, which is used as information and knowledge for further patient care. Most common showed ground glass opacity and consolidation abnormalities predominantly in the peripheral, lower lobe distribution of both lungs, consistent with previous reports. These characteristics are important for physicians when treating patients, especially those with severe pneumonia.
