AT is a common finding in patients with COVID-19 that undergo expiratory CT scanning. The presence of AT may correlate with higher SpO2 at admission, lower D-dimer levels, and fewer hospitalizations when compared with absence of AT. Also, the volume of small pulmonary vessels may negatively correlate with CT opacities but not with lobar ventilation.
