- Abstract: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a new infectious disease rapidly spreading around the world, raising global public health concerns. Radiological examinations play a crucial role in the early diagnosis and follow-up of COVID-19.

This article outlines our experience in the emergency management procedure and infection control of the radiology department during the COVID-19 outbreak.
