Description
Summary:In recent years, lung ultrasound (LUS) has developed rapidly, and it is gaining growing popularity in various scenarios. There are constant attempts to introduce it to new fields. In addition, knowledge regarding lung and LUS has been augmented by the recent COVID-19 pandemics. In the first part of this review we discuss lines, signs and pheno-mena, profiles, some applications, and misconceptions. An aim of the second part of the review is mainly to discuss some advanced applications of LUS, including lung elastography, lung spectroscopy, colour and spectral Doppler, contrast-enhanced ultrasound of lung, speckled tracking of pleura, quantification of pulmonary oedema, predicting success of talc pleurodesis, asthma exacerbations, detecting chest wall invasion by tumours, lung biopsy, estimating pleural effusion volume, and predicting mechanical ventilatory weaning outcome. For this purpose, we reviewed literature concerning LUS.
