The chest X-ray found left middle arch of the heart convex, right basal pulmonary opacity, bilateral interstitial syndrome (Figure 1).
thoracic CT in axial section: A) pulmonary window showing multifocal ground glass foci and scattered of the two pulmonary hemi-fields of subpleural arrangement (white stars); B) with injection of contrast product showing left segmental pulmonary embolism (black arrow)

F2
The chest computed tomography with and without injection of contrast product found multifocal ground glass foci (10-25% impairment) of the two pulmonary hemi fields located under pleural with segmental and sub-segmental left pulmonary embolism (Figure 2).
