CT scans may be faster than nasal and throat swabs at diagnosing corona virus. Doctors from Mount Sinai in New York analyzed lung scans of patients in China with Covid-19. They were able to identify specific patterns as markers of the virus as it developed. For the study (published in the journal Radiology) they analyzed scans of 94 patients at 4 medical centers in 4 Chinese provinces. The patients had been admitted between January 18 - February 2. These patterns are similar to scans of patients with SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) and MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) and very different from diseases such as bacterial pneumonia.
