“…Previous DWI studies reported alterations in brain diffusivity in COVID-19 patients ( Parsons et al, 2021 , Chougar et al, 2020 , Kremer et al, 2020 , Kandemirli et al, 2020 , Douaud et al, 2022 , Rhally et al, 2021 , Zhang et al, 2011 , Huang et al, 2021 ), as assessed by morphologic evaluation of brain DWI scans only. The diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies published so far confirmed significant alterations in mean diffusivity in COVID-19 survivors ( Newcombe et al, 2021 , Lu et al, 2020 , Benedetti et al, 2021 , Díez-Cirarda et al, 2022 ).…”
