Materials and Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans of 20 patients with COVID-19 pneumonia were evaluated with regard to the distribution, opacity, and appearance of pulmonary lesions, as well as bronchial changes, pleural effusion, and thoracic lymphadenopathy. McNemar\u2019s test was used in order to compare the COVID-19-associated alterations seen on CT with those seen on MRI.  Results: Ground-glass opacities were better visualized on CT than on MRI (p = 0.031). We found no statistically significant differences between CT and MRI regarding the visualization\/characterization of the following: consolidations; interlobular\/intralobular septal thickening; the distribution or appearance of pulmonary abnormalities; bronchial pathologies; pleural effusion; and thoracic lymphadenopathy.  Conclusion: Pulmonary abnormalities caused by COVID-19 pneumonia can be detected on TrueFISP MRI sequences and correspond to the patterns known from CT. Especially during the current pandemic, the portions of the lungs imaged on cardiac or abdominal MRI should be carefully evaluated to promote the identification and isolation of unexpected cases of COVID-19, thereby curbing further spread of the disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/0100-3984.2021.0028","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,19]],"date-time":"2021-07-19T12:20:36Z","timestamp":1626697236000},"page":"211-218","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Appearance of COVID-19 pneumonia on 1.5 T TrueFISP MRI"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"54","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2560-2713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Judith Eva","family":"Spiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1056-2149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adrian","family":"Curta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4082-2370","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shiwa","family":"Mansournia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2042-7322","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Constantin Arndt","family":"Marschner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0413-851X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefan","family":"Maurus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0981-2246","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ludwig Thomas","family":"Weckbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8994-5593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dennis Martin","family":"Hedderich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Technical University of Munich,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1239-6084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julien","family":"Dinkel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LMU Munich,  Germany; German Center for Lung Research (DZL),  Germany; Asklepios Lung Center Munich-Gauting,  Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8]]},"reference":[{"year":"2020","series-title":"Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic","key":"ref1"},{"key":"ref2","article-title":"Epidemiology and clinical features of COVID-19: a review of current literature","volume":"127","author":"Siordia Jr JA","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Clin Virol"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e16","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jinf.2020.04.021","article-title":"Risk factors of critical & mortal COVID-19 cases: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis","volume":"81","author":"Zheng Z","year":"2020","journal-title":"J Infect"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"957","DOI":"10.1002\/ejhf.1871","article-title":"COVID-19 and heart failure: from infection to inflammation and angiotensin II stimulation.
