In addition to adding Pulse Wave Doppler for hemodynamics, Philips is the first and only point-of-care ultrasound solution with B-lines (B-line quantification tool for ultrasound lung imaging) software and intelligent algorithms to enhance heart and lung assessments, which is critical when dealing with severe COVID cases. The pandemic has shown the relevance of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of pneumonia, one of the most common complications of COVID-19. AI-enhanced automated algorithms looking for B-lines in lung fluid can help provide more objective data and interpretation.
