Overview
Chest X-ray findings of Covid-19 may be normal in early/mild disease. In severe COVID-19 cases an abnormal chest radiograph may be demonstrated. 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.
