Objective: The objective of the present paper was to study the diagnosis of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) by X-ray.
Methods: A study of eight patients for COVID diagnosis by X-ray imaging was carried out. The ages of the patients ranged from 18 to 80 years. The study was conducted at Baqubah General Hospital, Baqubah, Iraq. COVID was diagnosed by X-ray imaging, where X-rays were taken of the patient's chest in a posterior-anterior (PA) view.
Findings: The X-ray produces a crisp radiographic image with high resolution and a two-dimensional view of the patient's chest in the posterior-anterior position. X-ray is considered a clear method of diagnosing COVID. Furthermore, X-rays are less expensive, more commonly available in hospitals, and take less time to check the patient's chest.
Conclusions: X-ray imaging is a quick, reliable, and widely available tool for diagnosing COVID-19, offering clear chest images at a low cost.
