CT angiogram chest pulmonary embolism with and without contrast   Result Date: 4/22/2021 CTA CHEST PULMONARY EMBOLISM W WO CONTRAST IMPRESSION: No evidence of pulmonary embolus or right heart strain. Extensive parenchymal consolidation in both lungs, left greater than right consistent with severe pneumonia such as Covid 19 pneumonia. Moderate left-sided small to moderate right sided pleural effusions are seen with associated compressive atelectasis. Enlarged main pulmonary artery which can be seen in the setting of chronic pulmonary hypertension.
