Physicians first in US analyzing lung disease in coronavirus patients
(PHYSorg.com Medicine & Health)

Mount Sinai Health System physicians-the first experts in the country to analyze chest computed tomography (CT) scans of patients from China with coronavirus disease (COVID-19)-have identified specific patterns in the lungs as markers of the disease as it develops over the course of a week and a half. The finding, published in the February issue of Radiology, could lead to quicker diagnosis in patients who come in with possible COVID-19 symptoms, and help keep patients isolated in early stages when the lung disease may not show up in initial scans.
