Up to 40% of COVID-19 survivors experience long-term neurological conditions, and it’s crucial that radiologists understand these, according to a May 17 presentation at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM) 2021 virtual annual meeting.

Symptoms can include fatigue, myalgia, headache, dysautonomia, and cognitive impairment, according to Gerevini.
