| Abstract Background: The frequency of emerging infectious illness-es has reached unprecedented levels, making it crucial to com-prehend their management in an ever more interconnected global society. Aim of Study: This study provides a comprehensive anal-ysis of the existing literature on the use of radiography in the diagnosis and treatment of Ebola (EVD), Zika (ZVD), Chikun-gunya (CHIKF), H1N1, Middle East Respiratory (MERS), and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) viruses.Methods: An extensive literature search was performed us- ing the PubMed database.Results: Advanced methods are necessary to properly use portable imaging in EVD in order to avoid the transmission of illness inside a healthcare setting. Antenatal ultrasonography in ZVD has the capability to promptly identify fetal anomalies, enabling the provision of appropriate treatment and assistance to families afflicted by such conditions. Imaging is valuable for evaluating the degree of chronic CHIKF involvement and tracking the effectiveness of therapy. Chest radiography and CT scans are crucial for diagnosing and monitoring viral diseases that predominantly affect the respiratory system, such as H1N1, MERS, and SARS. Conclusion: Radiology has a diverse function in devel-oping infectious illnesses, necessitating knowledge of disease transmission and safe imaging methods, as well as understand-ing the imaging characteristics that impact clinical care. | ||
