Compliance with ethical standards
:
: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: All procedures performed in this study were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committees and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its latest amendments. All patients coming to our department receive a specific document where it is stipulated that their medical data may be used for research purposes, and they may formally object to this on the same document. However, none of the study patients indicated such an objection. In addition, informed consent was retrospectively obtained by telephone calls to all patients for whom SPECT and/or CT images were presented in the article—i.e., all the COVID patients and the non-COVID patients whose SPECT images are displayed in Fig. InternalRef removed; the only exceptions were 3 patients who died within days following the scintigraphy (1 COVID patient and 2 non-COVID patients). Approval was obtained from our Ethics Committee (Comité éthique du CHRU-Nancy) in light of the retrospective nature of the study and considering that all procedures performed were part of routine care.
