Pleural effusions, heart dysfunction, mediastinal nodal pathology, and pulmonary embolism are among the thoracic diseases that can be diagnosed using ultrasound techniques. Chest sonography has become a key procedure in the imaging diagnosis of pulmonary, cardiac, and pleural conditions, allowing for clear diagnoses without subjecting patients to costly and stressful procedures. This volume in the Progress in Respiratory Research series presents the latest advancements in clinical chest ultrasonography, covering all aspects of chest ultrasound and distinguishing between routine and emergency procedures. It details basic elements such as indications, investigational techniques, and imaging artifacts in separate chapters. The book features numerous high-quality illustrations and concise text, making the information accessible and easy to understand. In addition to printed images, a complimentary online repository offers a variety of key videos. Each chapter provides a standalone overview of indications, methods, diagnoses, and potential pitfalls, serving as a systematic review. Authored by leading experts, this guide is essential for clinicians, pulmonologists, intensivists, and all doctors interested in chest medicine.
