Paediatric Lung Ultrasound

Paediatric lung ultrasound is a safe, non‑invasive imaging technique that uses high‑frequency sound waves to visualise the lungs and surrounding structures. It is an increasingly popular alternative to chest X‑rays and CT scans, especially in children, as it eliminates exposure to ionising radiation.

At Dr. Puja Chaudhary's clinic, we use state‑of‑the‑art ultrasound equipment to perform rapid, bedside lung assessments. This enables us to diagnose a wide range of respiratory conditions — from pneumonia and pleural effusion to interstitial lung disease — with exceptional accuracy and minimal discomfort.

Our Lung Ultrasound Services Include:

• Rapid Bedside Assessment: Immediate evaluation of lung aeration, pleural integrity, and diaphragmatic movement.
• Pneumonia Diagnosis: Detection of consolidation, air bronchograms, and pleural effusion.
• Pleural Effusion Evaluation: Accurate quantification and characterisation of pleural fluid.
• Interstitial Syndrome Detection: Identification of B‑lines and other markers of interstitial lung disease.
• Diaphragm Function Assessment: Evaluation of diaphragmatic excursion and thickness.
• Procedure Guidance: Real‑time guidance for thoracentesis, chest tube placement, and lung biopsies.
