Relationship of chest CT score with clinical characteristics of 108 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In December 2019, the outbreak of a disease subsequently termed COVID-19 occurred in Wuhan, China. The number of cases increased rapidly and spread to six continents.
