CT scans of the chest. (A) High resolution chest CT scan performed at admission, showing ground-glass abnormalities with and without reticulation (“crazy paving”) with a predominantly peripheral distribution, consistent with COVID-19-related pneumonia. (B) CTPA performed at admission that did not reveal signs of pulmonary emboli. (C) High resolution chest CT scan performed on day 2, showing a marked increase in COVID-19-related pulmonary involvement and new areas of consolidation. (D) CTPA performed on day 2, again showing no signs of pulmonary embolism. (E) High resolution chest CT scan performed on day 7, showing improvement of COVID-19-related pulmonary changes with less extensive abnormalities and signs compatible with organising pneumonia. (F) CTPA performed on day 7, showing lobar (arrow) and subsegmental (not shown) pulmonary emboli.

CT imaging of the brain. (A) CT excluding brain haemorrhage. (B) CT-perfusion showing a defect right frontal with large mismatch between perfusion and vascular volume recordings, indicative of right frontal lobe infarction.
