I recommend the course of lung ultrasound to every person who has had a transducer in their hand at least once. The course is conducted by unquestionable authorities in this field in Poland, filled with theory and practice, based on extensive experience.

Pneumonia

A subpleural consolidation with dynamic air bronchogram and a tree-line vascular pattern visible in the color doppler mode.

Atelectasis

A region of airless lung with fluid bronchogram, surrounded by free fluid in the pleural cavity.

Metastases

Round subpleural consolidations without visible vessels or bronchograms distributed diffusely over a large area of the lung; C-line artifacts are visible beneath the consolidations.

RTG, USG

Yearly examination count

The above chart displays the changes in numbers of chest x-rays performed in our clinic as compared to the number of performed LUS examinations. One can clearly see that we perform over twice the number of LUS examinations than we used to do chest x-rays in the past. This shows that LUS is less time consuming and easier to perform, because we can skip moving the patient to the x-ray examination room, positioning the patient on the table, performing, and saving radiograms. That is because everything we need – the ultrasound probe and machine – we have at hand! For the patients and their owner this means less stress and a more precise diagnosis.
