Abstract

Ultrasonography of the lung has now become an established imaging procedure for chest diseases. The diagnostic value of this procedure has been described and proven in several comprehensive scientific investigations and studies (Beckh et al. 2002; Beaulieu and Marik 2005; Mathis et al. 2005; Niemann et al. 2009; Reuß 2010; Reissig et al 2012; Volpicelli et al. 2012; von Bartheld et al. 2013; Squizzato et al. 2013).
