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.
