From: Dynamic assessment of lung injury by ultrasound in a case with H7N9 influenza
Dynamic changes of chest computed tomography (CT), radiography, and lung ultrasound in a patient with H7N9 influenza. (A-C) CT showed pneumonia in the left upper lung, with partial consolidation on admission. (D-F) Lung ultrasound corresponding to CT in (A-C) showed multiple abutting B2 lines, and some regions presented a tissue pattern (arrow). (G-I) CT on day 6 after admission showed that the pneumonia was partially absorbed. (J-L) Lung ultrasound corresponding to CT in (G-I) showed that the number of B lines was obviously decreased, and the consolidation disappeared. (M-O) CT on day 9 after admission showed that the size of the lesion was obviously reduced. (P-R) Lung ultrasound corresponding to CT in (M-O) indicated that only the A line and few B lines were visible. (S-U) Chest radiography on days 1, 3, and 6 after admission showed no obvious change of the pneumonia. (V) Dynamic changes of lung ultrasound score (LUS) (total of 48 for normal lung).
