case_images: The first chest CT scan (left) and the second chest CT scan (right). The second chest CT image showed consolidation superimposed to pre-existing fibrotic changes on the lower lobe of the right lung (red arrow). The COVID-19-related ground-glass opacities on the left lung disappeared on the second CT, with residual tiny scars (blue arrow).
