Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has swept across all countries in the world within half a year, which is taking the world by surprise. We reported an elderly, severe, complicated COVID-19 case, describing the clinical manifestations, laboratory examinations, CT findings, diagnosis, treatment and  dynamic disease course. 3D post-processing technique was used to reconstruct different pulmonary lesions, and it was found to be useful for highlighting and observing them, thereby helping diagnose and distinguish different diseases.
