Abstract
This textbook deals mostly with critical ultrasound. The real ultrasonic revolution will regard the whole population in countless settings, in several decades or hopingly sooner, used by all up to the family doctor. Noninvasive ultrasound should be liberally performed each time there is a question regarding a macroscopic item.

One can see clearly the cupola, thanks to the pleural effusion above. Note that the deep part seems absent; this is just a tangency artifact (nothing to do with a rupture). (MOV 4457 kb)
This clip shows three interesting points. It is done in a healthy subject who breathes slowly for didactic reasons. (1) We do not see any diaphragm. We see only lung (left) and liver (right). (2) However, we know exactly where is the diaphragm: in between. (3) And we have the most important information: this diaphragm works perfectly, no palsy. See its elevated amplitude. This example shows that we should learn in priority other targets than the diaphragm by itself. (MOV 13107 kb)
