MRI Finds Lung Abnormalities in Non-Hospitalized Long COVID Patients

Caption

Example CT, proton, proton and RBC:TP imaging from post-hospitalized participants. The top row is a participant with RBC:TP = 0.59, the middle row is a participant with RBC:TP of 0.31, and the bottom row is a participant with RBC:TP = 0.16. Imaging showed minimal damage on CT, and yet highly heterogeneous and low RBC:TP in the lungs of post-hospitalized participants. RBC:TP = Hyperpolarized 129Xenon MRI lung ratio of red blood cell spectral peak to tissue phase spectral peak
