The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) and the Canadian Society on Thoracic Radiology (CSTR) Recommendations on COVID-19 Management in Imaging Departments

The purpose of these recommendations is to provide guidance and information to the radiology community regarding the safe conduct of imaging and image-guided intervention in patients with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 infection. For more information regarding image-guided procedures you can refer to specific guidelines issued by the CAIR and the CAR. The recommendations included in this document are subject to change given the rapid evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Interim guidance on the COVID-19 pandemic has been issued by the World Health Organization and by the United States’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
