Abstract
The outbreak of 2019-nCOV around the globe at an exponential transmission rate has led to the declaration of COVID-2019 as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) by World Health Organization (WHO). It is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome leading to lung infection eventually to death. Lung imaging provides insight about the extent of infection and adopt treatment accordingly even though a false positive in standard techniques such as RT-PCR and RAD tests. Hence, this review elaborates on the origin of nCoV-2019 and various radiological techniques to identify the rate of infection. Finally, the role of artificial intelligence in processing the lung images is outlinedalong with the combined effort by the individual, media and healthcare organization to substantially limit the outbreak
