Figure 1 Age distribution.
Figure 2 Age group distribution.
Figure 3 Sensitivity of computed tomography by age groups.
Sensitivity values and their 95% confidence intervals were shown on the graph. CT: Computed tomography.
Figure 4 A thoracic computed tomography scan in a 5-year-old female patient.
There were no pathological findings in the sections that passed through the upper (A), middle (B), and lower (C) zones.
Figure 5 Thoracic computed tomography scans in patients.
A: A 45-year-old male patient underwent a thoracic computed tomography (CT) scan. Sections passing through the middle zones showed diffuse ground-glass infiltration areas with preservation of subpleural areas in both lungs (arrows); B: A 44-year-old female patient underwent a thoracic CT scan. In the sections passing through the lower zones, infiltration areas of peripheral ground glass density with a mild halo were observed in the medial basal segment on the right and in the upper lobe inferior lingular segment on the left (arrows); C: A 35-year-old male patient underwent a thoracic CT scan. A subpleural consolidation area with air bronchogram and ground-glass density halo could be seen in the lateral basal segment of the right lung lower lobe in sections passing through the lower zones (arrow); D: A 77-year-old female patient underwent a thoracic CT scan. In the sections passing through the upper zones, centrilobular nodular infiltrating areas in the form of a budded tree pattern were observed in the anterior segments of the upper lobes of bilateral lungs, particularly on the left (arrows).
