Abstract

The article discusses the appropriate use of chest radiography in patients suspected of having COVID-19. It emphasizes that it is not recommended to use it as a screening or confirmation method for the disease. However, three clinical scenarios are established in which its use is considered. Additionally, it is mentioned that imaging tests are not for diagnosis, but for assessing severity and detecting complications. The importance of evaluating the risks and benefits of radiographic studies and using clinical methods without violating established protocols is highlighted. [Extracted from the article]
