Abstract
<b>OBJECTIVE.</b> The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential benefit of spectral imaging, notably electron density imaging, in patients with suspected or confirmed coronavirus disease (COVID-19), by retrospectively reviewing the cases of four patients who each underwent two chest CT scans for confirmed COVID-19. <b>CONCLUSION.</b> The use of spectral CT with electron density imaging could improve the assessment of lung lesion extent in patients with early-stage COVID-19.
