Radiographs on the chest revealed the presence of the corona virus in the lungs of a woman who did not show any symptoms, after the doctors conducted radiology for her after she went to the hospital and asked to be examined for the Corona virus after the death of a relative of her due to the virus.
According to the British newspaper “Daily Mirror”, computerized tomography has revealed the presence of frost-like stains – or fluids in the lungs – that are usually found in the X-ray of patients with severe cases.
By analyzing the radiation from patients around the world, doctors were able to identify unusual patterns caused by corona and similar to those found in victims of the SARS and MERS outbreaks.
ABC News reported that the 30-year-old woman went to a hospital in Iran after the death of a relative from the Coruna virus.
Usually, a chest examination is not performed for a person who is similar to having a corona, but doctors have made an exception in her condition and found opaque glass-like opacity in her lungs, a sign of infection with the Corona virus.
The woman was held in hospital two days after the x-ray, and x-ray and x-ray doctors were involved with hundreds of other patients – in order to better understand the typical signs of the virus and understand the damage it could do to the lungs.
Dr. Bahman Rasooly, a radiologist in Tehran, said that the woman insisted on performing a tomography because she was very concerned and we have just performed a CT scan to relieve her anxiety about her infection from her relative.
For his part, pediatric radiologist Jeremy Jones, of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Britain, said that doctors had detected cases of the Corona virus while examining patients for other reasons.
He added: “We had two cases in which patients experienced abdominal pain and received CT scans of their abdomen, but in reality, we saw at the bottom of their lungs the signs of corona.”
A recent study of more than 1,000 patients was published in a journal Radiology , That chest CT scans were better than laboratory tests in the diagnosis of corona virus at an early stage.
The researchers concluded that a CT scan should be the primary method of examination.
In the United States, doctors in New York City were the first to do a CT scan in America Covid-19.
Doctors said last month that they had identified specific patterns in the lungs of dozens of patients who had been hospitalized in China at the height of the epidemic there.
Opacity of the crushed glass or stains became more intense over time, and the patterns were similar to those in patients with SARS or MERS.
