Image acquisition is the technique of correct placement, holding, and manipulation of the ultrasound probe in an ultrasound examination for the purpose of answering a specific clinical question. We review the literature and discuss the image acquisition protocols used for thoracic ultrasound, explaining, where possible, the associated advantages, disadvantages, and alternatives. A better understanding of how to fine-tune image acquisition specifically for thoracic ultrasound will help physicians on all levels to standardise their practice and improve networking and collaboration. It will also lead to better-quality investigations and, potentially, new applications.
图像采集是在超声检查中正确放置、握持和操作超声探头的技术，目的是回答特定的临床问题。我们回顾了文献，讨论了用于胸部超声的图像采集协议，尽可能解释了相关的优点、缺点和替代方案。更好地理解如何针对胸部超声精细调整图像采集，将有助于各级医生规范他们的实践，加强网络和协作。这也将导致更好质量的检查，并可能带来新的应用。
