The diagnostic accuracy of thoracic ultrasound is unmatched for in vivo diagnosis of pneumonia in calves. Our operators can reliably identify lung lesions with an almost perfect agreement (kappa > 0.9).

By using evidence-based scoring systems, both clinical and ultrasonographic abnormalities can be scored reliably within a short time frame, allowing for adequate sample sizes. By using the qTUS score, which has been associated with both production outcomes and cure, ultrasonographic findings are collected and reported in a comprehensive way.

As experienced researchers, the qTUS team can support you at every stage—whether that means helping with study design, optimizing the value of your results, or simply collecting data in the required format. The level of our involvement is entirely up to you, but we are always ready to assist.
