Modified Scan Protocol to Evaluate for Lung Infection, Pulmonary Embolism, and Myocardial Injury Pre-contrast computed tomography showing scattered patchy ground-glass opacities in the peripheral areas of both lungs with associated consolidation (A to C, with red boxes magnifying lung abnormalities). Coronary computed tomography angiography showing absence of coronary artery disease in the left anterior descending artery (D), left circumflex (E), marginal branch (F), and right coronary artery (G). Delayed postcontrast scan showing a large subepicardial area of hyperdensity in the basal-mid inferolateral wall of the left ventricle (H and I, blue arrows) suggesting the presence of myocarditis.
