Introduction: Speckle tracking technology quantifies lung sliding and detects lung sliding abolition in case of pneumothorax on selected ultrasound loops through the analysis of acoustic markers.
Objectives: We aimed to test the ability of speckle tracking technology to quantify lung sliding using a pleural strain value (PS).
Methods: We performed a prospective study in 30 healthy volunteers in whom we assessed the pleural speckle tracking using ultrasound loops.
