Dynamic MRI in a COVID-19 patient: a case series

Abstract

Extensive spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) prompted to an active investigation of its diagnostic features. The case of acute viral pneumonia associated with COVID-19 has already been described in detail in CT and radiography, and MRI. There is practically no data in the literature on the descriptive picture observed with dynamic MRI. Considering comprehensive diagnostic approach, it is essential that radiologists know how to recognize and interpret COVID-19 on MRI correctly. This radiation-free tool applied to a patient with acute viral pneumonia caused by COVID-19 may prove extremely useful in cases when access to CT is limited and dynamic morphofunctional imaging is required.
