The dark field x-ray technology can reveal the damage to lung tissue caused by diseases such as COPD or Covid-19.

Artificially produced antibodies can help patients who are already seriously ill. These are already being used in the Klinikum rechts der Isar. A drug that is currently being developed as part of an interdisciplinary cooperation is intended to prevent the virus from multiplying. Another research project focuses on the response of the lung tissue to the infection. And with the dark field x-ray, a new method is available that can make the damage to the lung tissue visible.

The two documentaries (in German) are now available in the SAT.1 Bayern media library:

Medikament gegen Long Covid: Wie weit ist die Forschung? - Long Covid drug: how far is the research? - Part 1 of the documentation in the media library of Sat.1 Bayern (duration approx. 25 min)

Kampf gegen Corona: Wie können Röntgenstrahlen helfen? - Fight against corona: how can x-rays help? - Part 2 of the documentation in the media library of Sat.1 Bayern (duration approx. 25 min)

The availability of content in media libraries may be limited.
