Method: This is a retrospective observational study involving asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic clinically suspected COVID-19 infection in a high endemicity area. Of 2532 HRCT chest database, 376 eligible cases were analyzed for clinico-radiological correlation for CT findings based CORADS and CT severity score between positive vs negative group. Results: Of 376, 186 (48.46%) had COVID-19 features on HRCT in mild and asymptomatic suspected patients. 98 (26.06%) had CO-RARDS - 5, 88 (23.40%) had CO-RADS - 4. 48 (12.76%), 128 (34.04%), 14 (3.72%) had CO-RADS score of 3,2,1, respectively. Positive CT findings were more likely beyond 3 days of symptoms compared to those presenting earlier {days: (Mean) 4.2 vs 2.76} Positive CT was significantly associated with patients with anosmia and dyspnea. The common presenting symptoms were Fever 196 (52.12%) and followed by sore throat in 173 (46.01%). The common HRCT findings were Ground glass opacity (GGO) (74.60%), followed by Lymphadenopathy (LN) (27.92%). LN which was more prevalent in symptomatic patients {99\/343 (28.86%) vs {6\/33 (18.18%)} asymptomatics (P: 0.04)}. Consolidation was significantly more in asymptomatics with COPD (P: 0.004). 6 (3.22%) patients had CT score &gt;17\/25. Conclusion: Chest HRCT picked 48.46% positive cases in mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic patients of which 3.22% had severe involvement (&gt;17). Being a noninvasive, rapid, sensitive, low risk of cross infection with high reproducibility, chest CT is worth evaluating as screening modality even in asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic clinically suspected COVID-19.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijri.ijri_796_20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,23]],"date-time":"2021-01-23T11:41:07Z","timestamp":1611402067000},"page":"S122-S127","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"special_numbering":"S","title":["Demographic
