Abstract
After the introduction of echocardiography [10], it soon became apparent that scanning of the heart is sometimes hindered by inadequate penetration of ultrasound through the thoracic wall and ribcage. This stimulated many investigators to search for alternative approaches using cavities within the thorax, with the exception of the bronchial tree.
