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...
