Radiological evaluation of patients with clinical-epidemiological suspect of COVID-19 is mandatory, especially in the emergency department (ED) while waiting for RT-PCR results, in order to have a rapid evaluation of thoracic involvement. Therefore, the purpose of our study is to better understand the main radiographic features of COVID-19 pneumonia, by describing the main CXR findings in a selected cohort of patients, also correlating the radiological appearance with RT-PCR examination and patients outcome (intended as discharged or hospitalized into a medicine department or intensive care unit). An independent and retrospective review of each CXR was performed by two thoracic radiologists in order to define the number of radiological suspects of COVID-19 infection; after this, they defined the predominant pattern of COVID-19 pneumonia presentation in patients with a positive RT-PCR.	./cache/cord-331891-a6b1xanm.txt	./txt/cord-331891-a6b1xanm.txt
