Abstract
Using the COVID-19 Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) score, we rapidly can assess changes in patients' lungs before obtaining the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test results. In summary, our data shows that the pandemic-provoked more frequent usage of HR CT has its positive side-effect: an earlier oncological diagnosis. [...]chest HR CT should be more frequently used in ED patients with pulmonary signs and symptoms.Sources of support The study was performed without external support.CRediT authorship contribution statement Klaudia Krzyzaniak: Writing – original draft, Investigation, Data curation.
