Effects of Long Covid and Provision of Long Covid Care: Engagement with Dr. John Lambert
Dr. John Lambert:
It is a cost issue. As I said, until now PET scans have had limited utility. MRI and CT scans performed the functions required in most clinical conditions. It made sense to have limited access to PET scans for clinical use. It is the case that studies have been done internationally using the PET scans to identify the brain inflammation that long Covid patients have.
