Staff at the Semmelweis University Medical Imaging Clinic came to a similar conclusion. The organization has posted an image on its Facebook page to draw attention to the dangers of pneumonia caused by the coronavirus.

According to the description, “a middle-aged male patient was hospitalized for increased respiratory distress and asphyxia, requiring mechanical ventilation in an intensive care unit for 3 weeks due to his deteriorating state.” The prolonged breathing was followed by months of recovery and rehabilitation.

The specialists also took 2D and 3D images of the patient’s lungs. The first two on the day of admission and the second two on the 18th. The latter clearly shows the extent to which the lung has been infected with a coronavirus infection.

The dark areas in the 2D images and the purple areas in the 3D images show healthy lung areas that retain air. Damaged and shiny areas are not involved in air exchange.
