CT provides best diagnosis for COVID-19

• In a recent study [1] of 1,014 patients, chest CT was more effective than RT-PCR lab testing in detection of COVID- 19.

• The results showed that 601 patients (59%) had positive RT-PCR results, while 888 (88%) had positive chest CT scans.

• The low sensitivity of RT-PCR implies that many COVID-19 patients may not receive appropriate treatment and risk infecting a larger population.
