Figure 1. Bedside chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) images. (A) The bedside chest X-ray showed that most of the left hemithorax was turbid on the first postoperative day. (B) Representative contrast-enhanced transaxial CT results showed diffuse ground-glass attenuation in the left lower lobe and a narrowed left lower lung bronchus (white arrow). (C) Representative contrast-enhanced sagittal CT results showed diffuse ground-glass attenuation in the left lower lobe, and left lower pulmonary vessels that were twisted and tilted upward with distal poor filling (white arrow). (D) Representative contrast-enhanced coronal CT results showed diffuse ground-glass attenuation in the left lower lobe and an occluded left lower lung bronchus (white arrows).
