Application of Lung Ultrasonography in the Diagnosis of Childhood Lung Diseases / 中华医学杂志(英文版)

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we focus on the characteristics of LUS in diagnosing childhood pulmonary disease. LUS is convenient, noninvasive, and free of radiation. It helps in the differentiation of lung diseases. Therefore, LUS has the potential to become a reference instrument for bedside dynamic respiratory monitoring. We hope that this review will help clinicians become acquainted with LUS and will accelerate the extensive application of LUS in children.
