Volumetric computed tomography acquisition of the chest from the thoracic inlet to the upper abdomen, following 65 mL of intravenous contrast (Omnipaque 300) employing pulmonary embolism protocol. A filling defect has been demonstrated in the left lower lobe segmental pulmonary artery (arrows: (a) axial; (b) sagittal).

Volumetric computed tomography (CT) showed a filling defect in the left lower lobe segmental pulmonary artery (Figures 1(a) and 1(b)).
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography demonstrating extensive diffuse ground-glass opacifications, with more confluent opacity involving the lower lobes.

In addition, there were extensive diffuse ground-glass opacifications, with more confluent opacity, involving the lower lobes (Figures 2(a)-2(c)).
(a)-(d) Endotracheal tube is noted with the tip ending at the satisfactory position. An enteric tube has been placed. Diffuse bilateral hazy opacification is again seen, which gradually improved in sequential (a)-(d) chest radiographs. (e) Chest radiograph showing marked improvement in previously seen bilateral hazy opacities after extubation.

Diffuse bilateral hazy opacity had been seen again, which gradually improved in sequential radiographs (Figures 3(a)-3(d)). Subsequently, a marked improvement in previously seen bilateral hazy opacities was demonstrated (Figure 3(e)).
Contrast-enhanced computed tomography on 1-month follow-up demonstrating complete resolution of the parenchymal opacifications.
