Novel MRI Reveals Brain Changes in Long-COVID Patients
Diffusion microstructure imaging (DMI), a novel MRI technique, is a promising approach to fill this gap.
- Diffusion microstructure imaging (DMI), a novel MRI technique, is a promising approach to fill this gap.
- It can detect even very small changes in the brain, not detectable with conventional MRI.
- The findings also revealed a correlation between microstructural changes and symptom-specific brain networks associated with impaired cognition, sense of smell and fatigue.
- The researchers hope to reexamine the patients in the future, recording both clinical symptoms and changes to the brain's microstructure.
