Abstract

Objective: this study aimed to analyze the role of thoracic computed tomography in the evaluation of the involvement of the population with pneumonia during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Method: This is a retrospective study in which the reports and images of 103 patients hospitalized from April 1 to 30, 2020, with suspected COVID-19 pneumonia, in Fortaleza, Ceará, were analyzed. Result: The number of patients who presented images suggestive of COVI D-19 was 65% of hospitalized patients. The overall mean number of patients with positive tomography for infection was 58.68 years. The main findings described in the analyzed reports were: ground glass pattern in 97.01% of the cases, parenchymic consolidations in 13.43%, stretch marks in 29.85% and pleural effusion in 4.47% of the patients examined. Conclusion: Computed tomography of the chest is a highlight as a diagnostic toai and has been decisive for the isolation and follow-up of most infected patients.
