Abstract
The nature of pleural-based thoracic collections may be sonographically confusing. To help lessen this confusion, the fluid bronchogram, a useful sonographic sign of pulmonary parenchymal consolidation, is described. Bronchi containing fluid in consolidated lung can be identified using ultrasound.
