LUNGS ULTRASOUND

Pulmonary ultrasonography is a study that is easy to perform at the patient bedside with no need to transfer the patient to special areas.

Pulmonary ultrasonography is a very important diagnostic tool in the assessment of lungs, pleural and chest wall diseases. 

Lung Ultrasound is especially very useful in:

Pleural Pathology

Pericardial pathology

Many patients who have problem in getting CT Scan or have problem in breath holding or crtically ill, lung ultrasound plays a very important role in diagnosis.
