Pulmonary - The Light Beam Artifact in COVID-19
Caption
This lung ultrasound shows a "light beam" artifact, a single shining band-form from a regular pleura that appears and disappears with spontaneous respirations. Note also the presence of A-lines. This is highly specific of early COVID-19 infection as described by Volpicelli.
