Comet Tail SignComet tail sign or artifacts also known as B-lines are hyperechoic reverberations originating from the visceral pleura and travel almost perpendicular to the pleural line. These are lost when air accumulates in the pleural space which prevents propagation of ultrasound waves. Presence of comet-tail sign rules out pneumothorax.
