COVID-19 resources
- During the pandemic, Dr Graham Lloyd-Jones - Director of Radiology Masterclass - has worked with multiple research groups to highlight the radiological aspects of COVID-19.
- Here is a list of resources which focus on two main areas of interest. Firstly, the vascular nature of COVID-19, especially the lung disease. Secondly, the potential importance of oral health status and oral healthcare measures for those with COVID-19.
- Resources are presented in date order. Most recent at the top.
On this page we list links relating to the COVID-19 research work of Dr Graham Lloyd-Jones, Director of Radiology Masterclass, highlighting the vascular nature of COVID-19 lung disease and the importance of oral healthcare for those with the disease.
