ABSTRACT
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a rapidly evolving field of application for ultrasound technologies. Especially during the current pandemic, many clinicians around the world have employed LUS to assess the condition of the lung for patients suspected and/or affected by COVID-19. However, LUS is currently performed with standard ultrasound imaging, which is not designed to cope with the high air content present in lung tissues. Nowadays LUS lacks standardization and suffers from the absence of quantitative approaches. To elevate LUS to the level of other ultrasound imaging applications, several aspects deserve attention from the technical and clinical world. This overview piece tries to provide the reader with a forward-looking view on the future for LUS.
