This is remarkable, in part, because it was once thought that ultrasound would never be useful in assessing lung health.
The Future Of Ultrasound Technology. But advances in technique and technology are making ultrasound increasingly valuable for imaging in a wide variety of medical applications, including pulmonary disease. Terry dubose, m.s., rdms, faium, fsdms:

A live baby was first imaged with 2d ultrasound in 1986. They used transducers to send, receive, and interpret sound waves. But advances in technique and technology are making ultrasound increasingly valuable for imaging in a wide variety of medical applications, including pulmonary disease.
The conventional ultrasound displays the images in thin, flat sections of the body.
Listen to deborah crotty, rt (retired), rdms(ab, ne, ob/gyn), rvt(vt) talk about pocus, the technology of the future, and how it can create opportunities, not take them away. Ultrasound technology was first discovered in 1880 by pierre and jacques curie when examining the effects of mechanical vibration on quartz crystals.2 while early applications included underwater visualization during world war i and metal impurity testing for industrial uses, ultrasound was eventually introduced to the medical setting.76 since then, it has broadly grown into a fundamental. Ultrasound is a technology with a long history. This is remarkable, in part, because it was once thought that ultrasound would never be useful in assessing lung health.
