Article Abstract
Despite periodic changes in the clinical definition of ARDS, imaging of the lung remains a central component of its diagnostic identification. Several imaging modalities are available to the clinician to establish a diagnosis of the syndrome, monitor its clinical course, or assess the impact of treatment and management strategies. Each imaging modality provides unique insight into ARDS from structural and/or functional perspectives. This review will highlight several methods for lung imaging in ARDS, emphasizing basic operational and physical principles for the respiratory therapist. Advantages and disadvantages of each modality will be discussed in the context of their utility for clinical management and decision-making.
