Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on 178 consecutive swab positive COVID-19 patients presenting to Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar, Pakistan from 15th March to 15th June 2020. Patients of all ages and both genders were included. Chest X-rays performed by portable radiography unit were viewed for different patterns by two consultant radiologists independently and results were analyzed using IBM SPSS 20. Results: Out of 178 patients 134 were male. Mean age was 55.67 years. Radiographic patterns observed were ground glass haze without or with reticulation and/or consolidation (45.5 % and 33.2% respectively) and predominant consolidation either alone or in combination with ground glass haze or other findings (27.1% collectively). Peripheral distribution pattern was seen in 69.1% of patients with bilateral findings in 84.3%. Fu...

Methods: This retrospective observational study was conducted in Radiology Department of Medical Teaching Institute Lady Reading Hospital (MTI-LRH), Peshawar, Pakistan from November 1st 2017 to 31st January 2018. Patients of all ages and both genders presenting to the emergency department with post traumatic and non-traumatic indications for emergency CT head scan were included in the study. The imaging was performed on GE 16 multi slice Optima CT system. The imaging protocol included slice thickness of 3-5mm, non-contrast study for cases of head trauma or suspected stroke. Where needed intravenous contrast was administered e.g. to exclude meningitis in patients presenting with severe headache. Patients undergoing CT examination for regions of the body other than head and brain were excluded from the study as their number was insignificant. ...
