Long-COVID lungs (IMAGE) University of Iowa Caption University of Iowa researchers have created an advanced model that can detect lung damage in long-COVID patients using a simple chest X-ray. The model takes data points from 2D lung images constructed from 3D CT lung scans. This image shows details of the lung in a 2D image. The model is attractive, because 2D chest X-ray equipment is more commonly available and less costly. Credit Ching-Long Lin lab, University of Iowa Usage Restrictions None.
