Lung ultrasonography (LUS) has become an essential component of the evaluation and clinical management of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). The interpretation of LUS artifact (A- and B-patterns), analysis of the pleura, and the visualization of real images (C pattern) have demonstrated usefulness for the differential diagnosis of acute respiratory failure (ARF) [1]. However, current methods are non-quantitative and have important drawbacks deriving from visually guided assessment of LUS data [2]. Interestingly, recent in vitro and in vivo studies suggest that LUS data carry valuable information that correlates with lung density [2]. |
