Lung ultrasonography (LUS) is also used in COVID 19 pneumonia for diagnostic and follow-up purposes.It has been demonstrated in different studies that it can be used for pathologies in pleural and lung tissue. LUS was applied by different researchers by dividing the lungs into 12 and 14 regions and the results were shared.
In our study, we aimed to determine the correlation between lung findings of COVID 19 pneumonia and thoracic tomography with the results of LUS applied to different numbers (12 versus 14) of areas.
