Different Lung Ultrasound Imaging Protocols in COVID-19 Pneumonia

March 17, 2021 updated by: Korgün Ökmen, Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital

Comparison of Two Different Lung Ultrasound Imaging Protocols in COVID -19 Pneumonia

Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is also used in COVID 19 pneumonia for diagnostic and follow-up purposes.It has been demonstrated in different studies that it can be used for pathologies in pleural and lung tissue. LUS was applied by different researchers by dividing the lungs into 12 and 14 regions and the results were shared.
