A brand new research examines novel applied sciences for COVID-19 prognosis utilizing ultrasound. – Watts up with that?
From the University of Pennsylvania,
A new study examines novel technologies for COVID-19 diagnosis using ultrasound.
Penn’s ultrasound research team introduced a novel technology that can detect changes in the pulmonary pleura (membrane) associated with COVID-19 with high accuracy. Pulmonary ultrasound has emerged as the ideal imaging tool for COVID-19 diagnosis because of its high sensitivity, safety, portability, and affordability. A major disadvantage, however, is that it is highly user-dependent and not all clinicians are trained in performing pulmonary ultrasound and reading the images. To overcome these limitations, the team investigated a new technology that measures the thickness and shape of the lung pleurum. This technology showed high diagnostic accuracy compared to conventional lung ultrasound interpretations. The technology implemented on ultrasound machines currently in clinical practice can be of great value in improving the diagnosis and monitoring of COVID-19 patients.
