case_images: Evolution of chest CT images following COVID-19 infection. (a) December 13, 2023: The CT scan reveals multiple scattered patchy opacities with indistinct margins in both lungs, indicating significant progression of inflammation consistent with viral pneumonia. (b) December 22, 2023: The images show multiple patchy and linear ground-glass opacities in both lungs, with increased density in dorsal regions. Some areas have reduced in density, while others have increased. (c) January 16, 2024: The scan demonstrates an increased number and extent of patchy and linear opacities in both lungs, with some areas showing heightened density. (d) March 27, 2024: The CT images reveal multiple patchy and linear opacities primarily in the right middle lobe and left lower lobe. Traction bronchiectasis and a "crazy-paving" pattern are observed. Overall, there is an improvement in interstitial inflammation and resolution of some of the earlier findings.
