The appearance of COVID-19 has set tasks for healthcare professionals related to rapid diagnosis and provision of medical care to patients. The diagnosis of COVID-19 infection is based on the complex application of clinical, radiological and laboratory research methods[1].Radiation research methods used to diagnose patients with suspected COVID-19 and viral pneumonia of another nature include: radiography, computed tomography and ultrasound examination of the lungs. Radiation imaging data allow us to suspect lung damage of viral etiology (including COVID-19), influence the management of a particular patient, the treatment of complications or the formulation of an alternative diagnosis with a high probability of lung damage of viral etiology.
