Praxis (Bern 1994). 2021 Jun;110(8):453-459. doi: 10.1024/1661-8157/a003680.ABSTRACTCME Sonography 98: Chest Ultrasound Abstract. Chest sonography has long been an important part of ultrasound diagnostics. Historically, the first evidence found in chest sonography were pleural effusions. Peripheral consolidations (pneumonia, tumors, pulmonary embolism) and pneumothorax were added later. The COVID-19 pandemic with often massive lung infestation has significantly increased the interest in thoracic sonography. The partially specific changes caused by COVID-19 are presented in this article.PMID:34107766 | DOI:10.1024/1661-8157/a003680
