Pleural effusion:

fluid collection in left pleural cavity     pleural effusion and collapsed lung

Sonography of the chest was done in this patient.  Images reveal a large, clear, hypoechoic fluid collection in the left pleural space. The left lung has collapsed into a small mass of tissue compressed by the effusion. A small fibrotic band is seen traversing the fluid. These ultrasound images are diagnostic of pleural effusion.

Pulmonary consolidation:

ultrasound image of consolidation

Sonography of the left lung reveals loss of normal aeration of the lung parenchyma with echogencity and texture similar to that of the spleen below. The echogenic left dome of diaphragm is seen separating the lower lobe of the lung from the spleen. The normal aerated lung surface would reflect all the sound waves producing a strong shadow. These ultrasound images suggest consolidation of the lung. Image courtesy of Dr. Gunjan Puri, Surat, India. Image taken using a Toshiba Xario, ultrasound and color doppler machine.

Pleural mass:

ultrasound image shows large intrathoracic mass     sonography of right pleural mass

color doppler image of pleural mass    x-ray image of mass right hemithorax

This young female child complained of right sided chest pain. X-ray image shows a large opacity filling the lower half of the right hemithorax with obliteration of right C-P angle. The upper border of the opacity appears convex. Sonography reveals a rounded, large soft tissue mass just above the right dome of diaphragm, measuring approximately 8 x 7 cms. Color doppler imaging shows vessels feeding the lesion. The right dome of diaphragm appears to be compressed with pressure effect on the right lobe of liver. These ultrasound images suggest right pleural or pulmonary mass, possibly malignant.
