Caption

The latest AJR Podcast episode takes a closer look at "Lung US Findings in Coronavirus Disease-19 (COVID-19) Patients," noting that compared to CT, US is portable, less costly, and does not use radiation--making US a useful tool for triage, particularly in pre-hospital/outpatient settings, and severity stratification and monitoring, especially for critically ill patients who may be challenging to transport and require careful ventilation management.
