<sup>18</sup>F-FDG-PET Imaging for Post-COVID-19 Brain and Skeletal Muscle Alterations

Scientific evidence concerning the subacute and long-term effects of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is on the rise. It has been established that infection by serious acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a systemic process that involves multiple organs. The complications and...
