MADISON, Wis. Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing are common symptoms of patients who contract COVID-19. UW Health’s Chief of Thoracic Imaging Jeffrey Kanne said something many people don’t see is the long-term damage the virus can have on the lungs.
What happens to your lungs when you get COVID?
Normal lungs: Scan as all black.
Smokers lungs: Black with large holes throughout.
COVID lungs: White/gray from severe scarring.

“The normal lung is mostly filled with air so it’s going to be black on our CT scans,” Kanne said. “Patients with COVID are going to have areas of white or gray in their lungs, very severe scarred lungs all from COVID. Smokers have a variety of different injuries, mostly from emphysema and that happens over many, many years of smoking.”
