    Document: The copyright holder for this preprint (which was not peer-reviewed) is the . https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.04.14.20064733 doi: medRxiv preprint higher than that of RT-PCR. A case series (24) with 1014 patients indicated that the sensitivity of chest CT scan for COVID-19 was 97%. Our study results also showed that the sensitivity of chest CT was 99%, which indicates that chest CT scan can effectively capture lung lesions in the early stage, especially in the epidemic areas. However, it is noteworthy that a small part of patients had normal CT imaging. Another systematic review (26) with 356 patients with COVID-19 also showed that 11.5% patients were diagnosed, while their CT imaging were normal, which revealed that CT examination cannot alone reliably fully exclude the diagnosis of COVID-19, notably in the early stage of infection.
