Abstract

UK Biobank will use the data from the home-test lateral flow devices (that identifies whether individuals have antibodies to SARS-CoV-2) to invite participants back for a repeat imaging scan. This repeat imaging study aims to include up to 1,500 participants who have positive antibodies and 1,500 who are negative to enable research into the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on internal pathophysiology (such as the heart, lungs, brain) by enabling research to compare MRI data before and after infection.
