Overview
Ultrasound has a minimal role in diagnosing lung abscess.[1]
Ultrasound
- Lung abscess appears as a rounded hypoechoic lesion with an outer margin on ultrsound.
- Lung abscesses which are peripheral and with pleural contact or included inside a lung consolidation are detectable using bedside lung ultrasonography.
