An advanced type of MRI scan uncovered "significant" problems - including reduced blood flow - in the lungs of children and teenagers suffering from the long-term effects of the COVID-19 virus.

Supporting lung transplants. In a separate study reported in JHLT Open, Thelwall and colleagues used dynamic 19 F-MRI of inhaled perfluoropropane to visualize the function of transplanted lungs.

For the prospective study, conducted between April 2022 and 2023, the researchers enrolled 54 patients ranging in age from 11 to 17 years. Half of the patients were diagnosed with long COVID, and ...

Of the 429 chest X-rays that were classified as normal, 120, or 28%, were also classified by the AI tool as normal. These X-rays, or 7.8 % of all the X-rays, could be potentially safely automated ...

In addition to poor blood flow, a subgroup of long COVID patients with cardiopulmonary symptoms, such as shortness of breath, also showed a reduction of air movement and reach in the lungs. An ...

However, these examinations frequently show normal lung and cardiac function in symptomatic patients, complicating the diagnostic process." PREFUL MRI is short for free-breathing phase-resolved ...

“When I see Hannah’s lung obstruction on spirometry, all I can say is that there is obstruction,” Nevel said. “I can’t see where, or what, is being impacted. Xenon MRI shows us a picture ...

The technique, called dynamic fluorine 19-MRI (19F-MRI), can enable clinicians to evaluate lung function and regional defects in the lung earlier on than existing methods, Peter Thelwall, PhD ...
