Images in a 57-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia. A, Axial unenhanced chest CT scan obtained on day 10 after the onset of symptoms shows bilateral areas of peripheral ground-glass opacities. B, Coronal thick maximum intensity projection slab of CT pulmonary angiography demonstrates multiple bilateral filling defects (white arrows) involving lobar, segmental, and subsegmental branches of the pulmonary artery.

Figure 2:
Images in a 70-year-old man with COVID-19 pneumonia. A, Axial unenhanced chest CT scan obtained on day 2 after the onset of symptoms shows bilateral areas of peripheral ground-glass opacities, associated with crazy paving and consolidation. B, Coronal thick maximum intensity projection slab of CT pulmonary angiography demonstrates filling defects (white arrows) in segmental and subsegmental branches of the lower lobe and left upper lobe pulmonary arteries, associated with peripheral consolidation as seen at prior unenhanced CT.
