Abstract

Lung ultrasound used for semi-quantification of lung aeration and assessment of lung pathology. lung scan in the longitudinal approach could be identified in between the ribs. Transverse scan has the ability of visualization of longer pleural and more artifacts using lung scoring system or pathological identification.
