AI-Enhanced Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Is Helping On The Front Line Against COVID-19
Ultrasound machines and lung ultrasound examinations might not seem obvious weapons against COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, and its ensuing complications. Best known for helping doctors and expectant parents to view babies in utero, ultrasound sees inside the body by emitting and recording the echoes of high-frequency soundwaves. It’s similar to how bats navigate at night. Ultrasound machines have become indispensable in hospitals since their debut in the 1950s, but by applying artificial intelligence to interpret those echoes, typically displayed as grayscale images, doctors are getting a new level of insight. These new advantages of ultrasound help them provide care for patients with COVID-19.
