1. Frontal and lateral chest radiography shows left lower lobe consolidation

Frontal and lateral chest radiography shows patchy left lower lobe bronchovascular thickening and consolidation suggesting lower lobe pneumonia. The cardiomediastinal contours are not abnormal and appear stable, and no pleural abnormalities (pleural effusion or pneumothorax) are seen. No new nodules are present.

The patient underwent thoracic CTA performed for pulmonary embolism evaluation (Figure 7) while in the Emergency Room.

  1. Thoracic CTA shows bilateral pulmonary emboli with right ventricular strain
  2. Thoracic CTA shows development of cavitary pulmonary lesions
  3. Thoracic CTA shows new numerous disseminated nodules
  4. Thoracic CTA shows new upper lobe consolidation
  5. Thoracic CTA shows recurrence of bilateral lower lobe pneumonia
