IntroductionIn years gone by examination of patients with pulmonary disorders rested essentially on a clinician's bedside physical examination, of auscultation and percussion, complimented with blood gas analysis and X-ray imaging. Lung ultrasound has emerged into this context as a real-time bedside procedure, delivering information relevant to the clinician's differential diagnosis. A large part of sonographic lung examination involves the interpretation of artefacts, thus knowledge of the origin of typical artefacts is important. Although indirect sonographic signs, nonetheless reliable conclusions on the condition of the lung can be inferred. Particularly the of quantity and distribution of B-lines can establish important assessment of the cause and degree of fluid load within the interstitium.All focused ultrasound investigations, including bedside lung ultrasound, allow symptom evaluation considering multiple organ-systems yet with minimal time delay. Such integration of imaging with clinical assessment and treatment is called Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) and should be understood as an extension of the physical examination. POCUS offers a unique but crucial role, integrating clinical and other imaging findings, including cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), chest radiography, and computed tomography (CT) scans is crucial, which alone may lack the required accuracy.The emergence of differences in approach to lung sonography, technique and nomenclature, provided the AbstractThe science of lung ultrasound has grown tremendously over the last two decades and lung ultrasound has not only entered the mainstream of point of care ultrasound but has become a dominant topic. Understanding lung ultrasound signs and artifacts is critical to being able to correlate findings with actual pathology and normal anatomy and physiology. Investigators have described multiple lung ultrasound artifacts and findings and it is important to understand both the physics and anatomic basis behind them. Additionally, ultrasound machine use and transducer selection can significantly affect results obtained on patient during an examination and the provider must carefully choose the correct settings. This manuscript describes the state of the art in ultrasound artifact recognition and correlation as well as management of ultrasound technology to optimize diagnostic success.Keywords: ultrasound, lung, artifacts, pathology, guidelines [2,[11][12][13][14][15] we discuss the prominent role of the particular artefacts of lung sonography answering differential-diagnostic questions in patients with cardio-pulmonary diseases.

Ultrasound is often the first imaging procedure performed in the evaluation of individuals with suspected or known liver disease. Despite technical advances in ultrasound techniques, sonographic detection and evaluation of diffuse liver disease still remains difficult. This is due to the fact that diffuse liver disease does not always cause distortion of the liver parenchymal texture, internal liver architecture, or shape of the liver. On the other hand, the size of the liver, the echo pattern of the hepatic parenchyma, the analysis of intrahepatic vessels and alterations in perihepatic structures and lymph nodes can be helpful sonographic parameters of diffuse liver disease. Until now, the sonographic appearance of some rare diffuse liver diseases is not well known. However, there are some typical sonomorphological signs that, once identified, can facilitate the differentiation between various diseases. The aim of this paper is to highlight some typical ultrasound findings of liver parenchyma and perihepatic lymph node structures in rare diffuse liver diseases based on a review of published data.
