Abstract Orleans Parish in Louisiana is in the midst of an exponentially increasing number of patient admissions with COVID‐19 and respiratory symptoms. Patients have been described having CT findings most consistent with an early‐stage (<7 days from symptoms onset) or an advanced stage (8‐14 days from symptoms onset). We describe and illustrate those early and advanced stage CT findings from patients with documented COVID‐19 who have been admitted to University Medical Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
