Caption
This is an image of a patient's chest wall using a high frequency transducer, with the transducer oriented in a transverse plane between rib spaces. The patient had a pneumothorax and a chest tube was placed. This clip illustrates what happens when the suction is turned 'on'. You will see the pleura slide from right to left as the pneumothorax resolves. - Jason Tanguay, DO; Ultrasound Leadership Academy Graduate
