Possible Role of Chest Ultrasonography for the Evaluation of Peripheral Fibrotic Pulmonary Changes in Patients Affected by Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis—Pilot Case Series

Possible Role of Chest Ultrasonography for the Evaluation of Peripheral Fibrotic Pulmonary Changes in Patients Affected by Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis—Pilot Case Series

Lung ultrasonography (LUS) provides an estimation of peripheral airspace (PAS) geometry of the lung. Altered PAS produces sonographic interstitial syndrome (SIS). Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) involves peripheral lung with altered PAS. The aim of the study is to correlate echographic patterns...
