Axial and sagittal CT images from a 63-year-old man presenting at emergency room for severe COVID-19 at day 12 after symptom onset. Axial (a–d), right (e) and left (f) sagittal selected CT images showed extensive, bilateral and asymmetric ground glass opacities involving almost the entire right lung, with small consolidation in the right lower lobe. Left lung involvement was less severe. The lobe score was 5 (> 75%) for right upper lobe, 5 (> 75%) for right middle lobe, 5 (> 75%) for right lower lobe, 3 (25–50%) for left upper lobe and 2 (5–25%) for left lower lobe. The total CT score for this patient was 20. The patient presented respiratory failure requiring mechanical ventilation 1 day after this scan
