COVID-19 pneumonia: A review of typical radiological characteristics

Figure 10  Taken from Landete et al[12], A 65-year-old patient with a history of invasive lepidic-predominant adenocarcinoma (stage pT1bNxM0) treated with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. A: Coronal computed tomography (CT) showing the crazy paving pattern with a markedly asymmetric bilateral distribution, mainly affecting the right side. B: Positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) coronal section. C: Metabolic PET. D: Volume rendering 3D PET-CT. E: MIP, PET. Images B–E reveal an increased cellular activity [standard uptake value (SUV) 4-6] related to the associated inflammatory process and a PET-CT pattern of bilateral coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) with viral pneumonitis, predominantly right-sided. F: Axial CT showing crazy paving pattern with a bilateral, yet markedly asymmetric distribution, predominant right-sided. G and H: Axial section and 3D volume rendering from PET-CT metabolic imaging revealing increased cellular activity (SUV 4-6) related to the associated inflammatory process. PET-CT pattern of bilateral, predominantly right-sided, COVID-19 viral pneumonitis.
