It's not contradicting itself though. Your first quoted statement says "using high-resolution scanners". The last one says "conventional MRI studies". The methodology is what is different.
Let me break it down so you see the point I was making - in case the bold wasn't enough:
Here, they refer to people recovering from COVID-19, thus clearly indicate that patients are alive.
This paragraph immediately follows one that talks about autopsy(!) results, and here, they start a sentence with "in living brains [..], however", setting the sentence up as a contradiction to the previous one, with an emphasis on the word living in the article itself.
Here's an example how the sentence should be written to not seemingly cause a contradiction / misdirect the reader:
They put emphasis on the change in observation from autopsy to living brains, linking this paragraph more strongly to the preceeding one, when they should have put emphasis on the conventional studies, building the context for the subsequent paragraph.
