Imaging characteristics of chest x-ray film and CT in these patients were analysed.Results All cases were positive on chest X-ray film and CT,the lung shadows were marked.The extent of the pathological changes in lungs was 80%～90% in 6 cases and 90% above in 5 cases,multilobcs of bilateral lungs were involved in all cases.The lesions were diffuse spotty shadow or shaggy cloudy shadow in 8 cases,ground-glass opacification in one case and bronchogram structures could be seen.Conclusion Imaging findings in the cases with severe SARS mostly manifest as effusion,consolidation and interstitial inflammation in multilobes of bilateral lungs.
