Images in 74-year-old woman with HKU1 coronavirus pneumonia. (a) CT scan performed at admission shows a large area of peripheral ground-glass opacity (arrow) in the lower left lobe and small pleural effusions (star). (b) The CT scan performed after 14 days shows almost complete resolution of the imaging findings.

Images in patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. (a, b) Typical CT aspect of COVID-19 pneumonia: initial phase of disease with areas of ground-glass opacity peripherally (arrow in a); severe phase of disease with diffuse crazy paving pattern (arrow in b). Pleural effusions are absent.
