Abstract：Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is diagnosed by the combination of epidemiological and clinical features, laboratory
examination and imaging characteristics. The disease was confirmed by the real time reverse-transcription-polymerase chain-reaction
(RT-PCR) for novel coronavirus. However, some patients (about 30%-40%) with positive chest CT findings may present with
negative results of RT-PCR for novel coronavirus. In this report, we presented the typical chest CT findings of COVID-19. We found
that the CT signs had certain characteristics, such as single or multiple ground glass opacity, and with crazy paving pattern, etc. The
typical CT characteristics may help for the radiologists and frontline doctors to make early diagnosis for COVID-19 and further plan
correct prevention and control decision.
