case_images: A CT scan of the chest showing foci of consolidation (in A) one week after an initial scan had shown only opacities and ground-glass attenuation, consistent with the usual evolution of COVID-19 pneumonia. A posterior projection of the lungs using three-dimensional reconstruction (in B) shows the extent of lung parenchyma involvement (37.7%), predominantly in the posterior region. CT angiography of the chest showing a central filling defect-white arrows in C (axial reconstruction), D (coronal reconstruction), and E (sagittal reconstruction)-in the branch of the right pulmonary artery to the upper lobe, consistent with acute pulmonary thromboembolism.
