N2  - Chest sonography is an established procedure in the assessment of pulmonary and pleural disease, allowing the investigator to make an unequivocal diagnosis without exposing the patient to costly and stressful procedures. Since the second edition of this book, the value of chest sonography has been further demonstrated in many new studies, especially regarding the application of portable ultrasound stethoscope systems. The new edition presents the state of the art in chest investigation by means of ultrasonography and takes into account the results of the 1st International Consensus Conference on Pleural and Lung Ultrasound. The numerous excellent illustrations and the compact text provide concise and easy-to-assimilate information about the diagnostic procedure. Basic aspects such as indications, investigative techniques, and image artifacts are detailed in separate chapters, and new chapters have been included on emergency ultrasound of the chest and pediatric chest sonography; Common terms and phrases: abscess anechoic Annema aorta arrow artifacts assessment atelectasis atelectatic lung tissue B-lines B-mode image B-mode sonography benign biopsy bronchial arteries bronchial carcinoma bronchogram bronchoscopy bronchus central Chest Sonography chest wall Chest X-ray clinical color Doppler color-Doppler sonography computed tomography contrast enhancement contrast-assisted sonography detection diagnosis diaphragm diaphragmatic differential disease dorsal dyspnea echogenic empyema endobronchial sonography Endoscopic finds flow signal fluid Görg Herth histological hypoechoic indicative infiltration inflammatory intercostal interstitial invasion investigation lesions located lung cancer lung consolidations lymph node malignant margin Mathis G mediastinal mediastinum mesothelioma metastases needle pain parasternal parenchyma parietal pleura patients peripheral lung pleural effusion pleural empyema pneumonia pneumothorax probe procedure pulmo pulmonary artery pulmonary embolism pulmonary infarction puncture Radiology reflex respiratory seen sonogra sonographic image sonography reveals sonography shows sonography-guided sonomorphology space-occupying mass Spectral curve analysis structures subpleural thoracic tion transducer transthoracic tumor Ultraschall ultrasonography upper lobe vascularization ventilated vessels visceral pleura visualized
