Lung Ultrasound
Ultrasound (US) has been excluded from assessment of lung pathology for many decades. In fact, the acoustic characteristics of thoracic structures make them unsuitable for morphological US imaging in most cases. Bone and air are notorious “enemies” of US as they prevent their penetration thus obscuring deeper structures. Lung ultrasound relies on interpretation of many different artifacts and p...
متن کاملAdvances in lung ultrasound
Ultrasound examination of the chest has advanced in recent decades. This imaging modality is currently used to diagnose several pathological conditions and provides qualitative and quantitative information. Acoustic barriers represented by the aerated lungs and the bony framework of the chest generate well-described sonographic artifacts that can be used as diagnostic aids. The normal pleural l...
متن کاملUltrasound Detection of Lung Hepatization
Bedside ultrasound interrogation of the thorax can aide the clinician in determining the cause of the respiratory dysfunction. Often plain radiographs are not sufficient to differentiate pathology. We present a case in which bedside ultrasound defined the pathology without the need for further imaging.
متن کاملLung ultrasound in heart failure: Lessons from re‐analysis of Lung Ultrasound 2011 database
Introduction: In the setting of patients presenting with shortness of breath to an Emergency Department a simple lung ultrasound protocol aimed at detecting pulmonary oedema has been shown to have diagnostic accuracy of 85%. This article reviews data from the original study, in an attempt to determine whether adjusting the protocol and/or interpretive criteria would improve results. Method: A l...
متن کاملAttenuation and speed of ultrasound in lung.
An earlier study established that the attenuation of z0 ultrasound in freshly excised dog lung at 1 MHz was unusually high, viz., more than an order of magnitude greater than air and greatly in excess of that exhibited by other soft tissues. • The opportunity to conduct such measurements as a function of frequency has since become available and the following is an initial reporting of this inve...
