It has great advantages, including reproducibility, low cost, and lack of ionizing radiation, but its main limitations are its incompatibility with air, and the fact that it is operator-dependent. LUS findings in healthy lung parenchyma generate various signs, such as the pleural shift sign, and artifacts called A and B lines.</p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Specifically, more than 3 B lines appearing in a scanned area can be interpreted as thickening of the interlobular septa. Roughness, thickening and destructuring of the pleural line, in addition, may be a sign of interstitial lung disease (ILD).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0080"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1–4</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">To date, no ultrasound method has been able to quantify the severity of lung parenchyma involvement in patients with diffuse ILD, an application that might also be useful in follow-up. For this reason, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) continues to be essential for evaluating of the severity and progress of these patients.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5–8</span></a></p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The most commonly used ultrasound technique for assessing fibrosis (more specifically, liver fibrosis) is ultrasound elastography, although conventional ultrasonography, based on morphological grayscale analysis, may contain more information than that provided by elastography. The acoustic structure quantification (ASQ) method is a non-invasive tool that is used to characterize tissues through the statistical analysis of ultrasound signals received. When tissue is normal, the echo pulse generated is smaller than the ultrasound wavelength, following the normal Rayleigh distribution (continuous distribution function). When tissue is fibrotic, the echo pulses become larger than the wavelength, and deviate from the Rayleigh distribution.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0120"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9–11</span></a></p><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">ASQ is currently used for characterizing liver fibrosis. Unlike elastography, ASQ images are produced by ultrasound interference generated by innumerable reflective objects. According to this theory, tissue heterogeneity could be quantified by measuring the speckle pattern of tissue from an analysis of the probability density function. On the basis of these principles, and given that no studies have been previously published, we studied ASQ as a method for the evaluation of diffuse ILD.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0135"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12–15</span></a></p><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We thus performed the first prospective, observational, randomized case-control study to determine if the ASQ method could quantify severity in fibrosing diffuse ILD. Two groups of patients were recruited, after obtaining ethics committee approval and written informed consent. Group 1 comprised patients with ILD and involvement demonstrated on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Group 2 were healthy patients without respiratory disease, no history of smoking, and normal results on lung auscultation, spirometry, and chest X-ray.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The study was conducted in the pulmonology clinic, where both patient groups underwent evaluation, first with ultrasound and then with the ASQ method. We used a convex transducer, and multiple images were captured in B-mode applied between the intercostal spaces. In patients with diffuse ILD, the point with most interstitial involvement previously visualized on HRCT was sought. In healthy patients, the best axial plane of the lung bases was used.</p><p id="par0040" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The acquired images were interpreted with ASQ analysis, drawing 3 randomly assigned regions of interest (ROI), which included the intercostal muscles, pleural line, and lung parenchyma. Mean and standard deviation were calculated for each measurement (data derived directly from the ultrasound equipment). In addition, a multiparametric map based on echo amplitude distribution was generated, in which high C<span class="elsevierStyleInf">m</span>2 values (a statistical parameter derived from the varying echo amplitude distribution) are represented in a darker gray and low values in a lighter gray. In liver fibrosis, dispersion increases proportionally with the distortion of the parenchymal architecture and produces a red color, so we applied this same premise in this study, but associating it with pulmonary fibrosis.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The values of heterogeneity of data obtained in the ROI were collected as mean and standard deviation, and comparisons among groups were performed using the Mann–Whitney test.
