The SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant shows fewer and less severe changes on chest CT than the delta variant, according to a paper published in Radiology. However, it does have at least one distinct manifestation that of bronchial thickening. More of the patients who contracted the omicron variant had normal results on computed tomography. The SARS-CoV-2 omicron variant spreads rapidly but has lower rates of hospital admission and disease severity.
