[[File:B-lines.png|thumb|Lung ultrasound showing pulmonary edema.]]
*A lines and B lines
**A lines:
***Appear as horizontal lines
***Indicate dry interlobular septa.
***Predominance of A lines has 90% sensitivity, 67% specificity for pulmonary artery wedge pressure <= 13mm Hg
***A line predominance suggests that intravenous fluids may be safely given without concern for pulmonary edema
**B lines ("comets"):
***White lines from the pleura to the bottom of the screen
***Highly sensitive for pulmonary edema, but can be present at low wedge pressures
