The hospital-at-home (HaH) model delivers hospital-level acute care, including diagnostics, monitoring, and treatments, in a patient's home. It is particularly effective for managing conditions such as pneumonia. Point-of-care ultrasonography (PoCUS) is a key diagnostic tool in the HaH model, and it often serves as a substitute for imaging-based diagnosis in the HaH setting.

BACKGROUND Echogenic masses in the mitral annulus are often incidental findings during routine echocardiography examinations. Most represent the wide spectrum of underlying mitral annular calcifications and usually do not require further diagnostic workup. However, a rare variant called "caseous calcification of the mitral annulus" (CCMA) can be challenging to diagnose and often requires an extensive workup with the use of multiple imaging studies in order to accurately confirm the pathology.

Endobronchial ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (EBUS-FNA) has emerged as a valuable tool in assessing fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET)-avid lymph nodes (LNs). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of EBUS-FNA in patients with mediastinal lymphadenopathy in extrapulmonary malignancies and compare its efficacy with PET-CT.

Introduction: The use of ultrasound in respiratory disease has evolved substantially over the past two decades. From a test done to confirm the safe site of pleural fluid drainage, thoracic ultrasound has become a point-of-care test that guides the management of patients on respiratory wards, in clinics and endoscopy.
Areas Covered: This review overviews the process of ultrasound examination in the chest.
