Scientists test new scan to see hidden COVID lung damage

NCT ID NCT04376593

Summary

This early study tested a new type of PET/CT scan in 5 people who had recovered from COVID-19. The goal was to see if a special imaging tracer could detect lung damage caused by the virus. Researchers wanted to understand if this method could help identify long-term effects in patients who had no lung problems before their infection.
