TLDR
A multidisciplinary panel comprised principally of radiologists and pulmonologists from 10 countries with experience managing COVID-19 patients across a spectrum of healthcare environments evaluated the utility of imaging within three scenarios representing varying risk factors, community conditions, and resource constraints, resulting in five main and three additional recommendations intended to guide medical practitioners in the use of CXR and CT in the management of COIDs.
