1.1 Indications

Ultrasonography of the lung has now become an established imaging procedure for chest diseases. Owing to comprehensive scientific investigations and studies (Beckh et al. ) the Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) has been widely accepted as a basic tool with rapid diagnostic information in medical examination.

In emergency cases and in intensive care medicine the findings of ultrasound allow a conclusive and strategic course of action (Diacon et al. ).

New developed handheld devices in the size of a mobile phone create an ultrasound-stethoscope. In this dimension ultrasound may provide an imaging diagnosis even in most difficult situations (Bachmann Nielsen et al. ).

The usefulness of chest sonography is proven in permanent enlargement of applications (Lesser ).

The ultrasound image does not provide a complete overview of the chest. However, it does show a certain portion of the chest and thus provides diagnostic information about a variety of problems ( Fig. ).

Spectrum of applications of ultrasonography for pleural and pulmonary diseases

About 99% of the ultrasonic wave is reflected by the healthy lung. Intrapulmonary processes can be registered by ultrasound only when they extend to the visceral pleura or can be visualized through a sound-conducting medium such as fluid or consolidated lung tissue ( Fig. ).

Entities and pathological changes that can be accessed by ultrasound

Acoustic shadowing occurs due to nearly complete absorption of the ultrasonic wave on bone, especially behind the sternum, the scapula, and the spine. Impairment due to the rib shadow can be balanced, at least in part, by appropriate breathing techniques.

The immediate retrosternal and posterior portions of the mediastinum cannot be viewed from the percutaneous aspect. Transesophageal and transbronchial ultrasound may be used additionally, but it should be noted that these examination procedures are invasive in terms of effort and handling (Lam and Becker ).

Ultrasonography provides diagnostic information during the investigation of individual entities in the chest (Overview).

Diagnostic Information During the Investigation of Individual Entities in the Chest
  • Chest wall
    • Benign lesions:
      • Benign neoplasms (such as lipoma)

      • Hematoma

      • Abscess

      • Reactivated lymph nodes

      • Perichondritis, Tietze syndrome

      • Rib fracture

    • Malignant lesions:
      • Lymph node metastases (primary diagnosis and the course of disease under treatment)

      • Growing invasive carcinomas

      • Osteolyses

    • Solid structures:
      • Thickening of the pleura, callosity, calcification, asbestos-induced plaques

    • Fluid:
      • Effusion, hemothorax, pyothorax, chylothorax

    • Dynamic investigation:
