Summary

This trial will help researchers understand how different levels of COVID-19 severity affect pulmonary function and how quickly patients recover.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people who had COVID-19 and are in outpatient follow-up. They must be at least 10 days past the start of symptoms, without a fever, able to understand English or Spanish, and have an oxygen saturation of ≥88%. Pregnant individuals, those unable to fit into the MRI vest or hold their breath for about 15 seconds, under 18 years old, or with certain cognitive deficits cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing hyperpolarized Xe129 MRI's ability to assess lung function in patients who've recovered from mild to severe COVID-19. It aims to provide insights on how well their lungs are working post-infection using this advanced imaging technique.
What are the potential side effects?
There may not be direct side effects from the hyperpolarized Xe129 itself; however, undergoing an MRI might cause discomfort due to having to remain still for a period of time and noise during the procedure. There's also a small risk associated with inhaling xenon gas used in this type of imaging.
