Comet tail artifact B line is a lung ultrasound sign reasonably accurate for diagnosing AIS at bedside Introduction The alveolarinterstitial syndrome AIS of the lung includes several heterogeneous conditions with diffuse involvement of the interstitium and impairment of the alveolocapillary exchange capacity which leads to more or less

Abstract OBJECTIVE This prospective study was conducted to evaluate the value of sonographic Blines previously called comet tail artifacts which are long vertical welldefined hyperechoic dynamic lines originating from the pleural line in assessment of interstitial lung diseases ILD and compare them with the findings of chest highresolution computed tomography HRCT and
