CO-RADS classification is a standardized CT chest reporting system for patients with suspected COVID-19 infection. There are seven classes of CO-RADS. CO-RADS 0 to 6 follow an increasing risk for COVID-19, from very low risk  to proven infection by a positive RT-PCR assay. The CO-RADS 6 category indicated proven COVID-19 after a positive RT-PCR for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This classification is not a disease severity classification.
