Abstract

Badiane Serigne Moussa*, Barro Amadou and Merlin Charles

COVID-19 is a systemic viral disease with respiratory tropism, highly contagious, poorly immunizing declared a pandemic on 03/11/2020 by the WHO. In the emergency of this pandemic, the overflow of the capacities of the health systems, the rapid spread of the virus, mortality and ignorance have forced many imaging procedures differently except CT of the lungs, considered essential. Therefore, with the resumption of activities, the question of the semiology of pulmonary lesions arises in other imaging modalities such as scintigraphy. The objective of this presentation is to report in a didactic approach the different aspects observed in lung scintigraphy in COVID-19 patients.
