Figure 2. Comparison of CT findings between pre- and post-treatment for
COVID-19 pneumonia. In Case 1, the post-treatment chest CT revealed that
GGO in bilateral lungs were increased, furthermore intra- and
interlobular septal thickening regeion, bronchioectasis within GGO were
emarged. In case 2, the chest CT images reveal bilateral small
ground-glass opacities with linear shadows located dorsally in the lower
lung lobes. Post-treatment chest CT revealed while a part of GGO regions
were improved improvement, the linear shadow in GGO were thickened. In
case 3, bilateral GGO and septal thickening regeion were progressed. The
regions were predominantly in dorsal.
