Chest radiography and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in a 63-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia. He obtained a chest radiograph three days after the onset of the symptoms. (a) The frontal chest radiograph shows a very subtle opacity in the left lower lobe. (b) Axial and (c) coronal reformatted HRCT images clearly depict a ground-glass opacity admixed with consolidation in the subleural region of left lower lobe.
