biostudies-literatureUnknown47(11)Caroselli CChest computed tomography has been frequently used to evaluate patients with potential coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. However, this may be particularly risky for pediatric patients owing to high doses of ionizing radiation. We sought to evaluate COVID-19 imaging options in pediatric patients based on the published literature. We performed an exhaustive literature review focusing on COVID-19 imaging in pediatric patients. We used the search terms "COVID-19," "SARS-CoV2," "coronavirus," "2019-nCoV," "Wuhan virus," "lung ultrasound (LUS)," "sonography," "lung HRCT," "children," "childhood" and "newborn" to query the online databases PubMed, Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), Embase, LitCovid, the World Health Organization COVID-19 database and Medline Bireme.
