Background: Chest physical exam (CPE) is based on the four pillars of classical semiotics. However, CPE's sensitivity and specificity are low, and is affected by operators' skills. The aim of this work was to explore the contribution of chest ultrasound (US) to the traditional CPE.

Over the last 20 years, scientific literature and interest on chest/lung ultrasound (LUS) have exponentially increased. Interpreting mixed-anatomical and artifactual-pictures determined the need of a proposal of a new nomenclature of artifacts and signs to simplify learning, spread, and implementation of this technique. The aim of this review is to collect and analyze different signs and artifacts reported in the history of chest ultrasound regarding normal lung, pleural pathologies, and lung consolidations.

Although during the last few years the lung ultrasound (LUS) technique has progressed substantially, several artifacts, which are currently observed in clinical practice, still need a solid explanation of the physical phenomena involved in their origin. This is particularly true for vertical artifacts, conventionally known as B-lines, and for their use in clinical practice. A wider consensus and a deeper understanding of the nature of these artifactual phenomena will lead to a better classification and a shared nomenclature, and, ultimately, result in a more objective correlation between anatomo-pathological data and clinical scenarios.
