Abstract
At the beginning of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, a network of outpatient CT centers (OCTC) for lung pathology diagnostics in patients with suspected viral pneumonia with the round-the-clock operation was formed in Moscow. The introduction of the “CT 0-4” scale allowed for effective routing. To prevent the spread of infection among patients and staff, OCTC zoning was introduced, dividing into “red,” “buffer,” and “green” zones. As part of the mobilization of the Radiology Service, the Moscow Reference Center was established, aimed at quality control, remote expert consultations, and organizational and methodological support. Several online courses and training webinars have been developed. Artificial Intelligence services were connected to recognize the signs of COVID-19 and assess the severity.
The developed strategy of the Moscow Radiology Service ensured readiness for the high burden on the city health care system and minimized losses among medical personnel. The experts significantly contributed to effective infection control through accessible, timely, and high-quality diagnostics and routing.
