Abstract:: Abstract: Since the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), chest computed tomography (CT) has been an important imaging modality in the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients with COVID-19，but meanwhile the risk of cross-infection between the staff and patients in Department of Radiology is increasing. Shelter CT is specifically used for the examination of patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 to reduce the infection risk. Based on practical work experience, the management and prevention measures for COVID-19 in shelter CT are discussed from the aspects of the installation, function division and examination procedures of shelter CT, patient examination route, the staff management and infection prevention for radiology technologists, and the disinfection of CT equipments and object surface.
