Patients who were suspected of having pneumothorax were previously evaluated with standard ultrasonography, and then, in the presence of lung point, we performed strain elastography. All patients were evaluated in supine and sitting positions with a linear probe (7.5 MHz). USE enhanced the air\u2010tissue interface dividing the normal parenchyma from the air column of pneumothorax with a sharp line.
