60-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia and acute pulmonary embolism. A. Unenhanced CT image in the axial plane (mediastinal window: W 410/L 10 HU) shows spontaneously hyperattenuating clot (arrow) in the left main pulmonary artery. B. CT image in the axial plane (mediastinal window: W 410/L 10 HU) obtained after intravenous administration of iodinated contrast material confirms thrombus in the left main pulmonary artery (arrow) and reveals contralateral thrombus in the right interlobar artery(arrowhead). C. CT image in the coronal plane (mediastinal window: W 410/L 10 HU) depicts filling defects in the left main pulmonary artery (arrow) and right interlobar artery (arrowhead). D. CT image in the coronal plane (lung window: W 1600/L–500 HU) shows diffuse involvement of upper right lobe by ground-glass opacities, interlobular septal thickening, peribronchovascular consolidations and perihilar bronchial wall thickening.
