Abstract

We present the first 99mTc-Vitamin C single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) images obtained in patients with SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) infection. The CT portion of SPECT/CT images showed mostly peripheral patchy and ground-glass opacities in both lungs, which are consistent with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2-associated pneumonia in both patients. 99mTc-Vitamin C SPECT images showed increased tracer uptake corresponding to abnormal lung findings seen on CT in patient 1 who was newly diagnosed and treatment naïve. However, no abnormal uptake corresponding to lung CT findings was seen in patient 2 who received anti-SARS-CoV-2 treatment.

99mtc -维生素C在SARS-CoV-2相关性肺炎中的SPECT/CT成像

我们提出了在SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)感染患者中获得的第一批99mtc -维生素C单光子发射计算机断层扫描/计算机断层扫描(SPECT/CT)图像。SPECT/CT图像的CT部分显示双肺主要为外周斑片状和磨玻璃样混浊，这与两例患者的sars - cov -2相关肺炎的诊断一致。99mtc -维生素C SPECT图像显示示踪剂摄取增加，与新诊断和治疗的患者1的CT异常肺部表现相对应naïve。然而，在接受抗sars - cov -2治疗的患者2中，未见肺部CT检查结果对应的异常摄取。
