Abstract
Chest computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard for the evaluation of systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD). Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a radiation-free tool that identifies the B-lines as a main feature of ILD. We aimed to investigate the role of LUS in the evaluation of the extent of SSc-ILD.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
