Structured assessment of brain MRI in Covid-19-related neurological disease: an international multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Neuroradiological findings associated with neurological presentations in acute SARS-CoV-2 infection are very heterogeneous. We aimed to develop a standardized framework for describing MR neuroimaging patterns in Covid-19, to test this in an international multicentre study and to determine the prevalence of observed MRI patterns and their association with clinical presentation and outcome.

Methods

An international expert consortium developed a framework for assessment of brain MRI patterns in Covid-19 based on published literature and professional experience. We performed a retrospective analysis of the proposed framework, involving brain MRI scans from 458 Covid-19 patients with neurological symptoms, including data from 1 February to 31 May 2020.
