Emerging evidence suggests that ultrasonography of lung is a fast, inexpensive, widely available bed-side diagnostic tool which is useful for quick and early diagnosis of respiratory diseases. It is useful in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary infiltrates and has good accuracy in identifying consolidation and alveolar-interstitial syndrome. This technique can also be useful in the immediate evaluation of patients with dyspnoea or acute respiratory failure in the respiratory intensive care unit and helps in monitoring treatment response. Ultrasonography of lung has also been found to be useful in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism, traumatic lung contusion and lung consolidation as well. There is a need for developing specific guidelines for establishing the standards of training and education regarding lung ultrasonography in India.
新出现的证据表明，肺部超声检查是一种快速、廉价、广泛可用的床边诊断工具，有助于快速早期诊断呼吸系统疾病。它在肺部浸润的鉴别诊断中很有用，在识别实变和肺泡间质综合征方面具有良好的准确性。该技术在呼吸重症监护病房对呼吸困难或急性呼吸衰竭患者的即时评估中也很有用，并有助于监测治疗反应。肺部超声检查在肺栓塞、创伤性肺挫伤和肺实变的诊断中也被发现是有用的。在印度，有必要制定关于肺部超声检查培训和教育标准的具体指南。
