Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of covid-19 infection. Findings of chest x-ray can be consistent with the disease severity and time of presentation. Chest X-ray findings of Covid-19 may be normal in early/mild disease. Findings are most extensive about 10-12 days after symptom onset. The most frequent findings are airspace opacities. The distribution is most often bilateral, peripheral, and lower zone predominant. In contrast to parenchymal abnormalities, pleural effusion is rare.
