Potential of ultrasound in the pediatric chest
European Journal of Radiology, 2014Ultrasound (US) of chest, even with inherent limitations of the US beam and air, has been useful in many pediatric chest conditions. It has extended its role and is now widely used by many subspecialists in medicine. This review article will cover techniques, indications, and applications of chest US in neonates, infants and children, including also ...

Chest ultrasound findings in pulmonary tuberculosis
Tropical Doctor, 2017In resource-limited countries, the diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) is based on clinical findings, chest radiography and the demonstration of acid-fast bacilli in sputum. Few data are available on the use of ultrasound (US) to diagnose pulmonary TB.

Ultrasound of the pediatric chest
Pediatric Radiology, 2012Historically, the evaluation of the pediatric chest has been accomplished via CT and conventional radiography. Our objective is to discuss and illustrate the role of US as a non-ionizing radiation alternative in the evaluation of the pediatric chest. US is a valuable tool in the evaluation of the pediatric chest. It can be used as a first-line modality

Ultrasound-guided Chest Biopsies
Ultrasound Quarterly, 2006Pulmonary nodules that are surrounded by aerated lung cannot be visualized with sonography. Therefore, percutaneous biopsy must be guided with computed tomography or fluoroscopy. Although this restriction only applies to central lung nodules, it has permeated referral patterns for other thoracic lesions and has retarded the growth of ultrasound-guided ...

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2005
Ultrasound examination of the thorax can be quite rewarding in children, because their unique thoracic anatomy provides many acoustic windows into the chest. With only a modest effort, chest ultrasonography can provide many clinically relevant answers, without the radiation exposure from CT, or the need for sedation sometimes required for CT and MR ...

Ultrasound is a useful imaging technique for evaluating chest diseases. The fact that air and calcium are poor transmitters of sound waves limits the effectiveness of ultrasound when bone structures and pulmonary air are present. However, even with these obstacles, many pleural, mediastinal, and even pulmonary lesions are accessible to sonographic ...

Performance of chest ultrasound in pediatric pneumonia
European Journal of Radiology, 2017The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of ultrasound in detecting lung consolidation in children suspected of pneumonia, in comparison to the current gold standard, chest X-rays.From September 2013 to June 2014, a monocentric prospective study was performed on all children between 0 and 16 years-old, referred for chest X-ray for ...
