Hospital Medicine Point of Care Ultrasonography

Question 1: Which of the following statements is TRUE:

All lung pathology can be scanned with any of the 3 probes (curvilinear, phased array, or linear)
Curvilinear probe has the advantage of high frequency and excellent resolution of the pleural line
Linear probe has a small footprint and thus is a preferred transducer for imaging consolidations
Phased array probe has a smaller footprint and thus results in less rib shadowing

Question 2: Which of the following is TRUE:

The number of zones and the patient position is dependent on the stability of the patient and the clinical question
Lung consolidation on lung ultrasound is an example of direct anatomic imaging
B-lines seen on lung ultrasound is an example of artifact-based imaging
Lung ultrasound has higher yield for diffuse processes such as pulmonary edema
All of the above
None of the above
