Summary

This study tested whether a special radioactive tracer used in PET scans is safe for people with long COVID. Six adults with a history of COVID-19 (some with ongoing symptoms, some without) received the tracer and MRI scans. The goal was to see if the tracer could highlight differences in the brain between those with long COVID and those who recovered fully.
