The study, performed in Torino, Italy, looked at the ability of ultrasound to detect hidden anomalies, prompt quick changes in therapy or modify diagnoses. Findings from the examination modified the diagnosis of 26 percent of patients and confirmed the diagnosis of 58 percent of patients.
Lung ultrasounds were among the most efficient in differentiating possible conditions. Researchers said ultrasound examinations upon admission to a hospital would be beneficial for making accurate diagnoses and finding the best treatment courses.
