Contrast-enhanced chest computed tomography at the arterial phase in a 63-year-old patient with severe acute respiratory syndrome due to coronavirus 2019. A Chest CT demonstrates goggle-glass opacities with crazy-paving (white arrow), posterior condensation in the right upper lobe (white star) and a filling of the proximal right bronchus with hemorrhagic material (white arrowhead). B Chest CT demonstrates dilated bronchial arteries related to bronchial hypervascularization
