Abstract

A variety of chest imaging findings have been described in patients with COVID-19. Use of imaging could be useful for the diagnosis of patients with suspected COVID-19 and in patients diagnosed with COVID-19, to inform management. Our study aimed at assessing the significance of CT scan usage in determining the lung injury in patients as post-acute COVID sequalae having COVID 19 after a 3 month followup and to study the various findings in post-acute COVID sequalae through CT scan.
