Accuracy of gray scale and color Doppler sonographic mapping in diagnosis of pneumonia in adult

Conclusions Lung ultrasound imaging for the detection of pneumonia is highly accurate. Based on our results, LUS is a valid alternative for the diagnosis of pneumonia. By combined qualitative and quantitative impedance measurement, PA and bronchial artery (BA) can be differentiated from each other. Flow pattern of pulmonary arteries which was found in most of our cases was an indicative of benign lesions.
