Background: Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the post-operative period is challenging. Its clinical manifestations may have similarities to other septic, thoracic, or gastrointestinal post-surgical complications. Additionally, the post-operative period may be a time of increased risk for severe manifestations of COVID-19. We sought to evaluate the frequency of COVID-19 in a cohort of patients who had recently had operations who were undergoing imaging for acute symptoms and the role of chest computed tomography (CT) in this setting.

手术后患者中的COVID-19：影像学发现。

背景：术后冠状病毒2019（COVID-19）具有挑战性。其临床表现可能与其他脓毒性，胸腔或胃肠道手术后并发症相似。另外，术后时期可能是COVID-19严重表现风险增加的时期。我们试图评估一组近期接受了急性症状成像检查的患者队列中COVID-19的频率，以及在这种情况下胸部计算机断层扫描（CT）的作用。
