“…However, artifacts from cardiorespiratory motion and the intrinsically low MR signal of the lungs require dedicated sequences for lung evaluation. Although not the primary imaging modality of choice, the signs of interstitial pneumonia can nevertheless be detected by MRI [109,110]. The application of specific noncontrast-or contrast-enhanced MR sequences [111][112][113][114] has been investigated in clinical research settings (outside of infectious diseases) to provide free-breathing, high-resolution evaluation of lung anatomy and ventilation.…”

Chest X-ray (CXR), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT) are non-invasive imaging techniques widely used in human and veterinary pulmonary research and medicine. These techniques have recently been applied in studies of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2-exposed (SARS-CoV-2-exposed) nonhuman primates (NHPs) to complement virologic assessments with meaningful translational readouts of lung disease. Our review of the literature indicates that medical imaging of SARS-CoV-2-exposed NHPs enables high-resolution qualitative and quantitative characterization of disease otherwise clinically invisible and potentially provides user-independent and unbiased evaluation of medical countermeasures. However, we also found high variability in image acquisition and analysis protocols among studies. These findings uncover an urgent need to improve standardization and ensure direct comparability across studies.

Despite routine screening of patients for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms and signs at hospital entrances, patients may slip between the cracks and be incidentally discovered to have lung findings that could indicate COVID-19 infection on imaging obtained for other reasons. Multiple case reports and case series have been published to identify the pattern of this highly infectious disease. This article addresses the radiographic findings in different imaging modalities that may be incidentally seen in asymptomatic patients who carry COVID-19. In general, findings of COVID-19 infection may appear in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging, positron emission tomography-CT, ultrasound, or plain X-rays that show lung or only apical or basal cuts. The identification of these characteristics by radiologists and clinicians is crucial because this would help in the early recognition of cases so that a rapid treatment protocol can be established, the immediate isolation to reduce community transmission, and the organization of close monitoring. Thus, it is important to both the patient and the physician that these findings are highlighted and reported.
