Abstract
The comet tail artefact is probably one of the most commonly and imprecisely used to describe vertical artefacts foundin lung ultrasound. Two distinct artefacts are commonly observed: the lung comets and the B-lines. Both artefacts differ withregard to generation mechanism and clinical significance. This review explores the current understanding and use of these twoartefacts in lung ultrasound and suggests how to avoid the pitfalls related to confusing comet tail artefacts with other verticalartefacts.
