Lung Ultrasound in Children

Lung ultrasound (US) in children is a non-invasive and painless diagnostic method that uses sound waves to create images of lung tissue and surrounding structures. Lung ultrasound is used to assess the condition of the lungs, pleura, and diaphragm, and is particularly useful in diagnosing pleural effusion, pneumonia, pneumothorax, and other respiratory diseases. This method is safe, quick, and does not use ionizing radiation, making it ideal for use in children, especially for repeated examinations.
