In December 2019, novel coronavirus pneumonia broke out in China, and the epidemic quickly spread to the whole country and overseas with Wuhan as the center. As a frontline department for epidemic prevention and control, the imaging department faces challenges in many aspects such as pneumonia screening and diversion, imaging diagnosis and differentiation, efficacy evaluation and follow-up, workflow and management, personnel control and scheduling, and even the department's ability to prevent and control infections. In the face of sudden outbreaks, there are many issues worth discussing and considering on how to respond quickly and make correct decisions.
