Abstract:
Radiology has undeniably played a pivotal role in the COVID-19 pandemic. Radiologists as well as radiographers have relentlessly put their best foot forward in serving the people. Till date there are relatively few articles which describe the A-to-Z role of radiology in COVID pandemic and what a radiologist must know, suggest and report in such times. This article is a comprehensive narrative Review article with pictorial illustrations of cases from GSL medical college and hospital (COVID care centre)in India, intending to prepare and equip radiologist/resident, with the knowledge of basics to fight respiratory pandemics like COVID-19, in the present and any future respiratory pandemic. This article aims to bring under one roof comprehensively all the precious studies by various researchers all over the world, by covering all areas, seeing no leaf unturned by covering Pearls and Pitfalls of various imaging modalities, Imaging in Special groups of population, differential diagnoses of COVID, Role of radiology in non-respiratory manifestations, Post-COVID/ sequelae.

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
