What is Chest Ultrasound? Read the full explainer →

Chest Ultrasound

A chest ultrasound points a handheld probe at the space between the lung and the chest wall to find out whether fluid has collected there and roughly how much. It is quick, painless, uses no radiation, and is often the study that decides whether fluid needs to be drained and from exactly which spot.
