(a) Portable supine CXR shows intubated patient with diffuse mixed patchy ground glass opacities with consolidation predominantly in the peripheries. There is no zonal predilection, hilar adenopathy or associated pleural effusion. (b) Axial contrast enhanced CT (CECT) image across the lower zones of the lungs confirms CXR features. There are multifocal areas of consolidation in the peripheries, notably in the dependent regions of the lower lobes. Ground glass opacities are more diffusely distributed. Air bronchograms are salient throughout the lower lobes. There is notable absence of pleural effusions or adenopathy in the mediastinum (not shown).
