What are the best techniques to reduce POCUS artifact and increase the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound?
Answer from: at Community Practice
It is important to first clarify that essentially all of lung ultrasound IS artifact, and this is a great illustration of how artifact can actually help us to make a diagnosis rather than obscuring it. When we see B-lines, for example, that is an artifact that does not represent a similarly appearin...
Well, this is an interestingly worded question. Some of the major findings of lung ultrasound (A-lines and B-lines) are actually artifacts themselves, so if you're looking for these, you don't want to decrease artifact. Lung mode on many modern machines actually turns artifact filtering off ...
