Brief summary

This is a PET/CT study using the 18F-αvβ6-binding-peptide.The goal of this study is to evaluate this peptide in patients after infection with SARS CoV2.

Detailed description

The goal of the study is to to acquire 18F-αvβ6-BP PET/CT images in patients diagnosed with SARS CoV2 and to demonstrate the ability of 18F-αvβ6-BP to detect lung damage.

Interventions

Subjects will be injected once per imaging session (a maximum of 3 imaging sessions) with up to 10 mCi (±20%) of 18F-αvβ6-BP as a rapid intravenous bolus (within 30 secs).
