Deskripsi

Lung ultrasound has gained increasing use in the last few years, especially in the critically ill patients. By applying the probe on the thorax, much of the lung can be inspected and multiple conditions can be diagnosed and monitored, through anterior, lateral and posterior thoracic views. We describe a novel approach to visualization of part of the lower lobe of the right lung, through a trans-hepatic approach.
