To determine the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound compared to chest computed tomography (CT) in the diagnosis of lung changes in COVID-19.

Abstract

The" gold standard" of SARSCoV-2 diagnostics is the detection of viral RNA in a nasopharyngeal smear using PCR. In the diagnosis of COVID-19, the sensitivity of CT is 98%, which was significantly higher than the sensitivity of PCR-71%. Ultrasound of the lungs demonstrates a high diagnostic value in the assessment of various lung diseases and is superior in sensitivity and specificity to X-ray examination of the chest organs.
