Dr. John Lambert:

On the resource for using PET scans, it is challenging to get a PET scan done for cancer patients and complex infectious diseases patients. I am not saying that we need PET scans to diagnose long Covid. I am just saying that in research studies conducted around the world, PET scans have shown that there are abnormalities and hypoperfusion defects in the brain of patients with long Covid. The message is that many patients are being sent for CT and MRI scans, and the results are normal. They are being told that there is nothing wrong with them and their scans are normal. We do not have access to the PET scans that are picking up the abnormalities.
