AB Lung  ultrasonography  is  easy  to  learn,  simple  to  perform,  and  has  strong  clinical  utility  for  the  critical  care  clinician.  Interestingly,  radiologists  have  not  been  instrumental  in  developing  critical  care  applications  of  lung  ultrasonography.  Perhaps  because  lung  ultrasonography  in  the  intensive  care  unit  (ICU)  is  a  purely  bedside  technique,  it  required  a  frontline  ICU  clinician  to  develop  the  field.  Dr.  Daniel  Lichtenstein  is  responsible  for  developing  critical  care  lung  ultrasonography.  In  the  1990s,  he  established  the  principles  of  the  field  and  developed  the  semiology  of  lung  ultrasonography  that  is  in  current  use.1  Based  on  his  original  and  continued  work,  in  the  past  few  years  there  have  been  numerous  published  studies  from  other  groups,  which  have  served  to  validate  and  expand  the  field.  This  section  will  review  critical  care  applications  of  lung  ultrasonography.
