A study by Oxford and Sheffield researchers backed by NCIMI using a cutting-edge has identified persistent damage to the lungs of COVID-19 patients at least three months after they were discharged from hospital, and for some patients even longer. This damage was not detected by routine CT scans and clinical tests, and the patients wouldContinue reading “NCIMI backed study confirms longer-term lung damage after COVID-19”

Hidden lung damage from Covid-19 revealed in new study
Early findings from a study into longer-term damage in patients recovering from COVID-19 suggest that cutting-edge scanning techniques may detect previously unseen lung damage. The research by the universities of Oxford and Sheffield is the first in Europe to use hyperpolarised Xenon gas with MRI scanning to identify the impact on lung function as patientsContinue reading “Hidden lung damage from Covid-19 revealed in new study”
NCIMI partners collaborate on AI algorithms to help predict COVID-19 severity and long-term impact
GE Healthcare is working with the University of Oxford-led National Consortium of Intelligent Medical Imaging (NCIMI) in the UK to develop and test algorithms to aid in the diagnosis and management of COVID-19 pneumonia. The program will focus on developing, enhancing and testing potential algorithms to help diagnose COVID-19 pneumonia, predict which patients will develop severeContinue reading “NCIMI partners collaborate on AI algorithms to help predict COVID-19 severity and long-term impact”
