Grayscale ultrasound images (intercostal view) of lungs illustrating six patterns (one normal and five abnormal) from which trainees could choose. (a) Normal lung, showing subcutaneous layers, regular pleural line and horizontal artifacts, called ‘A‐lines’. (b–d) Abnormal patterns suggestive of pneumonia: (b) clear and distinct vertical artifacts with disrupted pleural line; (c) completely white area (so‐called ‘ultrasonographic white lung’) with neither horizontal reverberations (A‐lines) nor isolated B‐lines visible; (d) features of ‘white lung’ and subpleural consolidations. (e,f) Abnormal patterns not compatible with pneumonia: (e) massive consolidation; (f) features of pleural effusion.
