Semi-quantitative scoring system to quantify COVID-19 lung involvement [41]
Area involved | Scores |
---|---|
No involvement | 0 |
< 5% involvement | 1 |
25% involvement | 2 |
26–49% involvement | 3 |
50–75% involvement | 4 |
> 75% involvement | 5 |
The total CT score is the sum of the scores of each of the five lung lobes and ranges from 0 (no involvement) to 25 (maximum involvement), which approximates the degree of lung involvement and has prognostic significance for subsequent disease progression [41]
