Thoracic CT shows that the bibasilar opacities seen at CT abdomen 12 days earlier are still present, somewhat nodular in character, but have improved considerably.

The patient underwent testing for coccidioidomycosis, which was negative.  Repeat thoracic CT (Figure 4) was performed about 1 month later.

Figure 4. Representative images from the axial unenhanced thoracic CT performed over 1.5 months following the abdominal CT (Figure 2) and about 1 month following Figure 3 shows continued improvement in the bilateral lower lobe nodular-appearing consolidation.
