Variations of the peripheral lung density and the subpleural alveolar shape and its configuration are typically connected to the presence of ultrasound artifacts and consolidations. COVID-19 pneumonia can give rise to a variety of pathological pulmonary changes ranging from mild diffuse alveolar damage (DAD) to severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), characterized by peripheral bilateral patchy lung involvement. These findings are well described in CT imaging and in anatomopathological cases. Ultrasound artifacts and consolidations are therefore expected signs in COVID-19 pneumonia because edema, DAD, lung hemorrhage, interstitial thickening, hyaline membranes, and infiltrative lung diseases when they arise in a subpleural position, generate ultrasound findings. This review analyzes the structure of the ultrasound images in the normal and pathological lung given our current knowledge, and the role of LUS in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with COVID-19 lung involvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics12040838","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]],"date-time":"2022-03-29T21:40:14Z","timestamp":1648590014000},"page":"838","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["What Is COVID 19 Teaching Us about Pulmonary Ultrasound?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Gino","family":"Soldati","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ippocrate Medical Center, 55032 Lucca, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1472-7863","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marcello","family":"Demi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Bioengineering, Fondazione Toscana Gabriele Monasterio, 56126 Pisa, Italy"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1186\/s40248-017-0098-z","article-title":"Novel aspects in diagnostic approach to respiratory patients: Is it the time for a new semiotics?","volume":"12","author":"Soldati","year":"2017","journal-title":"Multidiscip.
