a Consolidation: A diffusely demarcated consolidation (Pnm) with an appearance similar to liver tissue. Air bronchograms (arrowhead) are visible within the consolidation. b Lung consolidation due to pulmonary embolism. A sharply defined hypoechogenic consolidation (PE) without air bronchograms just below the pleural line. c Tumour. Just below a pleural effusion (Ef), a relatively well demarcated tumour (T) can be seen located on the surface and within the lung tissue. d Lung contusion. US image from a patient who had suffered blunt trauma to the left side of the chest. LUS revealed multiple rib fractures and an underlying lung contusion (Lc) just cranially to the spleen (Spl)
