Point-of-care ultrasound (POC-US) is increasingly used especially in emergency and critical-care medicine. It is focused, quick and does not expose patients to ionizing radiation. It encompasses all ...

Lung ultrasound can show alternative diagnoses and should be considered when evaluating patients with suspected pulmonary embolism, say experts. A pretest risk stratification enhanced by ultrasound of ...

Pumping more energy into a beam of diagnostic ultrasound could produce a better image – and therefore a better diagnosis – but studies at the University of Illinois suggest the risk of ...

Lung ultrasound can detect asymptomatic lung congestion in dialysis patients and can predict their risk of dying prematurely or experiencing heart attacks or other cardiac events. Treating ...

Artificial intelligence (AI)–assisted lung ultrasound enabled nonexperts to capture diagnostic-quality images after brief software-focused training, matching expert standards in vast majority of cases ...

Artificial intelligence can spot COVID-19 in lung ultrasound images much like facial recognition software can spot a face in a crowd, new research shows. The findings boost AI-driven medical ...

In a study of possible COVID-19 patients who presented to the emergency department (ED), ultrasound sensitivity was 97.6% (95% CI 91.6-99.7) versus 69.9% (95% CI 58.8-79.5) for x-ray, reported Ryan C.

Researchers from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina have developed a technique that uses ultrasound to provide non-invasive assessments of pulmonary fibrosis and ...

A pioneering study presented today at ESCMID Global 2025 has demonstrated that an AI-powered lung ultrasound outperforms human experts by 9% in diagnosing pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). The ULTR-AI ...

Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat diseases of the airways. During an EBUS, a small ultrasound probe is inserted through the mouth and into ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Pumping more energy into a beam of diagnostic ultrasound could produce a better image – and therefore a better diagnosis – but studies at the University of Illinois suggest the risk ...
