About USG Chest

The USG Chest (Thoracic Ultrasound) is a non-invasive imaging examination that allows the evaluation of the pleura (lining of the lungs), the pleural space, the pleura-chest wall interface, the diaphragm, and peripheral lung abnormalities in immediate proximity to the pleura.

The advantages of ultrasound in the diagnosis of lung disease are the ability to avoid X-ray or computed tomography (CT) scans and to avoid X-ray imaging of the whole lungs, as ultrasound waves do not pass through air. It is very sensitive for pleural fluid, pleural disease, chest wall abnormalities, and some peripheral pulmonary disease. With its state-of-the-art ultrasound technology, Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy offers you real-time, accurate imaging for diagnostics, treatment planning, and image-guided procedures.

What is a USG Chest Scan?

A USG Chest Scan uses high-frequency sound waves to produce real-time images of the pleura, chest wall, diaphragm, and superficial lung regions. The examination helps evaluate:

• Pleural effusion (fluid around the lungs)
• Pleural thickening
• Peripheral lung consolidation
• Pneumonia involving the lung surface
• Chest wall swellings or soft tissue lesions
• Diaphragmatic movement and abnormalities
• Selected thoracic masses adjacent to the chest wall

It is also commonly used to guide procedures such as thoracentesis, pleural aspiration, and drainage.

Why is a USG Chest Performed?

Your doctor may recommend this examination for:

• Detection and evaluation of pleural effusion
• Assessment of pleural thickening
• Evaluation of peripheral lung consolidation or pneumonia
• Investigation of chest wall swellings or masses
• Assessment of diaphragmatic movement
• Guidance for thoracentesis, pleural aspiration, biopsy, or drainage procedures
• Follow-up of known pleural or chest wall abnormalities
