CT-pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examination for a 56-years-old COVID-19 male patient in the second week of infection. [A] Axial CTPA and [B] Coronal CTPA images showed bilateral basal dilatation of the peripheral pulmonary arterial tree reaching the pleural surface with a "loss of normal tapering" sign. [C] Corresponding axial CT image (lung window) showed bilateral sub-pleural ground-glass patches with exaggerated density at the basal gravitational lung zones. [D] Zoomed axial CT image (lung window) showed asymmetrical abnormal dilatation of pulmonary arterial branch inside the right upper lobar ground-glass patch … Pulmonary vascular enlargement (an indirect sign of pulmonary vasculopathy)
