• Areas of inflammation or consolidation in lung tissue.
• Condition of the pleura and diaphragm.
• Indirect signs of pneumothorax (air accumulation).
• Condition of the chest wall, tumor formations near the pleura.
When Lung Ultrasound is Prescribed:
• In cases of shortness of breath, cough, chest pain.
• When pneumonia, pleurisy, or other respiratory system diseases are suspected.
• To detect fluid or air in the pleural cavity.
• For monitoring after chest surgeries and injuries.
• When X-ray or CT is not possible (e. g. , in pregnant women).
Preparation for the Procedure:
• No special preparation is required.
• No need to restrict food or drink before the examination.
How the Procedure is Conducted:
• The patient sits or lies down, depending on their condition.
• The doctor applies a special gel to the skin of the chest.
• The sensor is moved across different areas of the chest, and images of the organs are displayed on the screen.
• On average, the examination takes 10–15 minutes.
