The Connective Tissue Diseases (CTDs)-related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) early diagnosis by Transthoracic Ultrasound (TUS) still arises several issues. Gutierrez et al. clearly underlined the current role of ultrasound artifacts for ILD definition according to some Authors. In this Letter to the Editor, we would like to highlight the proper role of TUS and its pitfalls.
结缔组织病（CTD）相关的间质性肺疾病（ILD）的经胸超声（TUS）早期诊断仍存在一些问题。Gutierrez 等人根据一些作者的观点，明确强调了超声伪像在ILD 定义中的当前作用。在这篇给编辑的信中，我们想强调 TUS 的适当作用及其缺陷。
