Popis: Background: Vascular findings in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are not systematically described using 384-row state-of-the-art chest CT angiography (CTA). The relationship between CT-CTA features and arterial blood gas (ABG) parameters is not fully understood. Methods: Chest CT images were acquired with Dual Source 384-slice (2×192) CT (Siemens SOMATOM Force). Quantitative volumetric assessment of lung lesions and the CT severity score were calculated by using a deep learning algorithm trained on COVID-19 pneumonia and correlated with ABG parameters. Assessment of pulmonary vascular tree was performed on CTA images. Statistical analysis included Mann-Whitney U test and non-parametric Spearman’s Rho test, with significance threshold at P
