ABSTRACT
The quick dissemination caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus
SARS CoV-2 gave rise to a pandemic that affects people of all ages and to a lesser extent
to pediatric patients. It is urgent to define the clinic and radiological characteristics of
the disease. The chest imaging studies, as well as the computed tomography have an
important role during the evaluation of the pediatric patient with COVID-19, nonetheless,
there is little information available that describes the image manifestations in
pediatric COVID-19 and the image suggestions related to the clinical situation. In this
article a revision of the image characteristics of the most relevant lung lesions of this
disease is made, furthermore to imaging recommendations in various clinical settings.
