Whether or not you should have a chest CT scan if you have COVID-19 depends on your specific symptoms and the recommendation of a healthcare professional. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
If you have symptoms, I would start with a chest X-ray and then talk to your doctor.
COVID-19 can have a major effect on a person's lungs. A CT scan will help identify lung damage and develop a baseline for treatment plans.
