Intelligent Lung Ultrasound Provides Crucial Support for COVID-19 Testing Within Minutes
Using fairly simple ultrasound machines that are enhanced with artificial intelligence (AI) could make it possible to establish whether a patient is suffering from severe lung disease, possibly COVID-19, within a few minutes. More...03 Jun 2021
Cutting-Edge MRI Method Reveals Persistent COVID-19 Lung Damage Overlooked by Routine CT
A study using a cutting-edge method of imaging has identified persistent damage to the lungs of COVID-19 patients at least three months after they were discharged from hospital, and for some patients even longer. This damage was not detected by routine CT scans and clinical tests, and the patients would consequently normally be told their lungs are normal. More...31 May 2021
