Abstract

Aims: Analyze the new challenges faced by radiology professionals in managing suspected or confirmed COVID-19 patients and understand their implications for the safety strategies of these professionals and patients. Methodology: The method used was an integrative literature review, conducted by searching for publications in indexed journals in the databases PubMed, SciELO, Scopus, and ScienceDirect, covering the years from 2015 to 2020. Results: In the data analysis, the articles were classified into 20 units of analysis, with information presented as sub-themes related to the publications of the selected studies, with a focus on the synthesis of the results. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is essential that not only all professionals involved in the process possess knowledge and preventive measures, but also that the entire radiology service is adequately prepared to receive patients, thereby ensuring greater stability in terms of environmental biosafety.
