Abstract

On March 11, 2020, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) was announced as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO). The WHO urged for international action and co-operation in the following key areas: adequate preparation and readiness; detection, protection, and treatment; reducing transmission; and innovation and learning. As this disease has caused a significant impact on our lives, the health-care workers are the worst hit, both mentally and physically. In such hours of crisis where this pandemic is spreading rapidly, our role is to prudently use the health resources and relieve any extra burden on the health-care workers. This article reviews the role of imaging in the management of COVID-19 and also discusses the recommendations and guidelines for judicious use of imaging.
