COVID REPORTS : HOW DO YOU INTERPRET

RT PCR REPORT CT ( Cycle Threshold )
SCORE VIRAL LOAD
In Value RT PCR report Ct (Cycle Threshold) is
17-24 HIGH VIRAL LOAD
Evaluated To Understand The Viral Load and
24- 35 MODERATE VIRAL
Lower The Value Higher is The Viral Load
LOAD

> 35 MILD VIRAL LOAD

HRCT CHEST
CO – RADS SCORE :
CT SEVERITY SCORE
Level Of suspicion for Covid - 19

CO - RADS 1 NO

SCORE CT CO- RADS 2 LOW

SEVERITY
CO – RADS 3 INTERMEDIATE
<8 Mild
CO – RADS 4 HIGH

9-15 Moderate CO – RADS 5 VERY HIGH

> 15 Severe CO – RADS 6 VERY HIGH WITH
