Brief summary
The goal of this observational study is to establish the three-dimensional construct of lung lesion via ultrasound in patients with peripheral lung lesions or any superficial lesion in thoracic fields. The primary question our study aims to answer is: Whether the 3D ultrasound morphology can reflect lung disease entities? Whether the 3D volumetric follow-up protocol can be standardised to reflect lung disease status?
