Analysis of imaging signs in all confirmed patients

Imaging findings COVID-19 Non-COVID- 19
(n = 43) (n = 49)
Distribution of lesions
  Subpleural distribution 33 (77%) 23 (47%)
  Other distributions 10 (23%) 26 (53%)
Morphology of lesions
  Only patchy ground glass opacities 30 (69%) 12 (24%)
  Patchy ground glass opacities and nodular shadows 5 (12%) 7 (14%)
  Patchy ground glass opacities and consolidation shadows 7 (17%) 8 (16%)
  Patchy ground glass opacities and consolidation- and nodular- shadows 0 (0%) 2 (4%)
  Only nodular shadows 1 (2%) 6 (12%)
  Only consolidation shadows 0 (0) 14 (29%)
Involvement of lobular interstitium
  The long axis of the lesion is parallel to the pleura 42 (98%) 11 (22%)
  Fine-mesh changes 39 (91%) 5 (10%)
  Bronchiectasis with rigid course 29 (67%) 18 (37%)
Inflammatory responses
  Dilatation of small vessels 40 (93%) 25 (51%)

They are described as Number of cases (percentage). Classification of lesions based on distribution did not overlap with that based on morphology. As for the involvement of lobular interstitium, several cases had multiple signs at the same time, and the decimal point was omitted for the percentage.
