Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Case Description
Thrombosis can be associated with coronavirus disease 2019 infection. Computed tomography is essential for the diagnosis of pneumonia in these patients and conventionally contrast agents are required for the assessment of thrombus. In this study, we report a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 who was diagnosed with thrombosis using spectral noncontrast computed tomography with electron density imaging. The patient was a 76-year-old man who presented with a 2-day history of lower-leg pain. Tachycardia and atrial fibrillation were identified, with elevated D-dimer, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, creatine kinase, and C-reactive protein levels. Polymerase chain reaction testing for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 was positive. Conventional computed tomography showed pulmonary changes consistent with coronavirus disease 2019 and no changes in the aorta, but spectral computed tomography with electron density imaging of noncontrast computed tomography showed a thrombus in the right external iliac artery. Spectral computed tomography with electron density imaging provides more data compared with conventional computed tomography and has the potential to depict thrombus without the use of contrast media.
