Lung Ultrasound for Assessment of Interstitial Lung Disease in Systemic Sclerosis: Relationship With High-Resolution Computed Tomography and Nailfold Capillaroscopy
The number of B-lines parallels the HRCT score and the extent of digital vascular damage as indicated by NVC and clinical digital ulcers. Lung ultrasound has proven to be a reliable radiation-free modality for screening of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease and detecting its extent.
