Abstract

One of the rarely reported computed tomography findings of COVID-19 is an air bubble sign. Minimum intensity projection (MinIP) images can increase the prominence of the air bubble appearance, which is one of the low-density findings observed in COVID-19 pneumonia. We present two cases with COVID-19 pneumonia, who were not optimally selected on thoracic tomography images, and air bubble appearance was detected in MinIP images. While air bubbles are not noticed in normal thin-section computed tomography images, they become more easily noticeable after the MinIP technique is applied. This observation needs to be confirmed by radiological studies.

Özet

COVID-19’un nadir bildirilen bilgisayarlı tomografi bulgularından biri de hava kabarcığı işaretidir. Minimum yoğunluk projeksiyon (MinIP) görüntüleri COVID-19 pnömonisinde izlenen düşük dansite bulgularından biri olan hava kabarcığı görünümünün belirginliğini artırabilmektedir. Kırk üç ve otuz üç yaşında COVID-19 pnömonisi olan, ham toraks tomografi görüntelerinde optimal seçilemeyen, MinIP imajlarda hava kabarcığı görünümü saptanan iki olguyu sunuyoruz. Normal ince kesitli bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülerinde hava kabarcıkları fark edilmezken, MinIP tekniği uygulandıktan sonra daha kolay fark edilebilir hale gelmektedir. Bu gözlemin radyolojik çalışmalarla doğrulanması gerekmektedir.
