Transthoracic ultrasonography (TUS) is suggested as a noninvasive, radiation-free method for the assessment of interstitial lung disease (ILD). This study was designed to study TUS features of ILD. Furthermore, possible correlations of these features with parameters of spirometry, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis and 6-min walk test (6MWT) were assessed.
