Background and Objective. Chest X-ray is recommended for routine use in patients with suspected pneumonia, but its use in emergency settings is limited. In this study, the diagnostic performance of a new method for quantitative analysis of lung ultrasonography was compared with bedside chest X-ray and visual lung ultrasonography for detection...

recipients. We derived alveolar–capillary membrane conductance (DM,CO) and pulmonary capillary vol-ume (VC) from DLCOand diffusing capacity for NO (DLNO). Forty patients were studied before and 6 weeksafter HSCT. Before HSCT, DLNOand DLCOwere significantly lower than in 30 healthy controls. DM,COwas∼40% lower in patients than in controls (p <...
