Typical radiological evolution of non-survivors. Images from a patient presenting with 3 days of sudden fever (38.0 °C). (a) At presentation (day 3), subpleurally distributed GGO with crazy-paving pattern was demonstrated in the bilateral lungs and the RT-PCR test was performed afterwards; (b) on admission after confirming COVID-19 (day 7), the previous GGO became more enlarged with the crazy-paving pattern and partially consolidation could be observed. Afterwards, progressive respiratory distress occurred. (c) day 12, diffuse bilateral lung involvement with extensive GGO and partial consolidation was observed. (d) Day 18, a similar area of pulmonary involvement with predominant consolidation was observed. The patient eventually died on day 22 due to refractory respiratory failure. All images have the same window level of − 600 and window width of 1,600.
