“…Ultrasound (US) is a routine diagnostic tool in patients with dyspnea and/or chest pain in daily clinical practice, especially in the emergency setting, and the method is also reproducible and radiation-free [ 30 ]. Although not mentioned in the current ESC guidelines, recent studies have confirmed the validity of pulmonary US in patients with PE [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. Also, PI can be visualized with the US [ 35 ].…”

Pulmonary infarction (PI) is a possible consequence of pulmonary embolism (PE). The real incidence of PI could be underestimated considering only non-fatal PE presentation. However, following postmortem examination, the prevalence of PI is considerably higher. This evidence suggests the necessity of proper diagnostic protocol for identifying PI. Unfortunately, PI diagnosis can sometimes be challenging, due to the overlapping of symptoms with other diseases. Nowadays, the diagnosis is mainly based on radiological evaluation, although the combination with emerging imaging techniques such as ultrasound and nuclear scanning might improve the diagnostic algorithm for PI. This review aims to summarize the available data on the prevalence of PI, the main predisposing factors for the development of PI among patients with PE, to resume the possible diagnostic tools, and finally the clinical and prognostic implications.

This manuscript summarises the highlights from the virtual European Respiratory Society's “Clinical techniques, imaging and endoscopy” Assembly 14 presented at the 2021 European Respiratory Society International Congress. Cutting-edge innovative developments in both diagnostic approaches and therapeutic strategies in patients with lung cancer, interstitial lung disease, obstructive airway disorders and infectious diseases were presented on this year's interactive congress platform. In this manuscript, the Assembly 14 subgroups summarise the key take home messages given new research outcomes and place them in the context of the current knowledge.
