Yang PC, Am J Roentgenol. 1992;159:29-33.
� Anechoic-
Transudate or exudate
� Complex septated, complex nonseptated, or
homogeneously echogenic pattern-
Exudate
� Thickened pleura- exudate
� Parenchyma lesion-exudate
� Homogeneous echogenic- hemorrhagic effusion or
empyema
� Pleural nodule- malignant effusion
