Transthoracic ultrasonography in patients with interstitial lung disease

Conclusion: TUS seems to be a useful imaging method for the diagnosis of ILD. It can be used to estimate the severity of ILD. It is simple, bedside, cost-effective, and radiation-free. It may be especially useful in the follow up of patients in low resource settings, pregnant females, and bed-ridden or unstable patients who cannot be shifted to radiology suite.
