(a) Chest radiography shows subtle pulmonary infiltrate in the left lung. (b) Computed tomography (CT) reveals pulmonary infiltrates with ground-glass opacities (GGO) in the superior segment (S6) of the left lung.

Radiography (Figure 1(a)) and CT (Figure 1(b)) of her chest revealed pulmonary infiltrates with GGO in the left lower lung.
(a) Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) reveals a large lesion filling the left pulmonary artery (white arrow). (b) Dual-energy CT shows areas of severe hypoperfusion in segment S4 of the right lung and segment S6 of the left lung.

The patient was subsequently diagnosed with left deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and PE (Figure 2(a)). Dual-energy CT of the lesion showed a pulmonary blood flow defect in the left lung at a site consistent with the pulmonary infiltrates (Figure 2(b)).
