A comprehensive review	2020-08-17		.txt	text/plain	7456	363	37	The purpose of this comprehensive review is to understand the diagnostic capabilities and limitations of chest X-ray (CXR) and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in defining the common imaging features of COVID-19 pneumonia and correlating them with the underlying pathogenic mechanisms. As suggested in the recently published WHO (World Health Organization) advice guide for the diagnosis and management of COVID-19, chest imaging should be used for diagnostic purpose in symptomatic patients if RT-PCR is not available or its results are delayed, or in case of negative result in the presence of a high clinical suspicion of COVID-19 [11] . Apart from recognizing COVID-19 pneumonia features, imaging -especially CT -may reveal possible alternative diagnoses (e.g. pulmonary oedema, alveolar haemorrhage, other type of lung infections) that justify patient's respiratory symptoms [25, 26] .	./cache/cord-347691-ia2i8svg.txt	./txt/cord-347691-ia2i8svg.txt
