Abstract

Radiological differentiation RTG of the shadows and shadings can be made when interpreting the
radiology findings of COVID 19 patients depending on the pathogen mechanism (pathogenesis) i.e pathophysiology
as well as following the Fleishner Society glossary. Consequently, they can be hazy shadings, ground glass opacity
shadings and reticular shadowing.
Also radiology differentiation and presentation can be made by interpreting the most common complications in this
patients such as bacterial pneumonias, pleural effusion and pleuropneumonia.
Conventional X-ray (roentgenogram) is the basis of all diagnostic examinations. If we take into consideration the
financial aspect as well as the obviously lower exposure to radiation compared to CT (computer tomography) we
can rightly say that the conventional X-ray RTG of chest organs is very beneficial for the medicine as well as for
these patients. Conventional X-ray has also been highly used as a follow up method of the patients with medium and
severe clinical pictures, which allows for an easier therapy approach besides the radiological and clinical evaluation
of the disease.
Pathogenesis of these shadings is a key factor in the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the radiological
findings.
