The spectrum of possible causes of dyspnea is broad. In addition to X-ray imaging in two planes, high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) and angio-CT are imaging procedures available for diagnostic localization, which make it possible to visualize structures in detail and determine functional parameters. One of the newer methods in the field of pulmonary sonography is B-line diagnostics.
