Patients in intensive care units (ICUs) are critically ill and require constant monitoring of clinical conditions. Due to the severity of the underlying disease and the need to monitor devices, imaging plays a crucial role in critically ill patients' care. Given the clinical complexity of these patients, who typically need respiratory assistance as well as continuous monitoring of vital functions and equipment, computed tomography (CT) can be regarded as the diagnostic gold standard, although it is not a bedside diagnostic technique. Despite its limitations, portable chest X-ray (CXR) is still today an essential diagnostic tool used in the ICU. Being a widely accessible imaging technique, which can be performed at the patient's bedside and at a low healthcare cost, it provides additional diagnostic support to the patient's clinical management. In recent years, the use of point-of-care lung ultrasound (LUS) in ICUs for procedure guidance, diagnosis, and screening has proliferated, and it is usually performed at the patient's bedside. This review illustrates the role of point-of-care LUS in ICUs from a purely radiological point of view as an advanced method in ICU CXR reports to improve the interpretation and monitoring of lung CXR findings.
