Sumario:The recent COVID-19 pandemic has impacted every facet of life and placed a significant strain on healthcare resources worldwide.

For Radiology as a discipline, the stress of COVID-19 may be comparatively small when measured against the frontline physicians and nurses in the Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit. Still, it is incumbent upon all disciplines to learn and grow from the challenges encountered during this crisis.
