ABSTRACT
Ultrasonography (US) forms the mainstay of imaging in children; however, in the chest, its use has traditionally been limited to evaluation of pleural pathology. US techniques such as endobronchial and endoscopic ultrasound, which are commonly used for detection of mediastinal lymphadenopathy are invasive, aerosol generating, and often require sedation. Transcutaneous mediastinal sonography (TMUS) offers a useful alternative, which is easier to perform and overcomes these limitations. In this review, we summarize the technique, as well as imaging appearances of lymph nodes on TMUS. We also list common problems faced by operators and suggest troubleshooting methods for these.
