20242 citationsOpen accessAddis Ababa University

Abstract

LUS demonstrates comparable diagnostic accuracy to CXR for pneumonia, exhibiting high sensitivity and specificity for pneumonia-related features. It outperforms CXR in detecting small-volume consolidations and effusions, supporting its routine use in clinical settings.
