Lung Ultrasonography in COVID-19 Pneumonia

Lung ultrasonography has been used for diagnosis and treatment in many departments including intensive care before the pandemic. The gold standard method for the diagnosis of pneumonia is still chest tomography. Ultrasonography, which has advantages over tomography, has also been tried to be used in covid 19 pneumonia.
