Left side of the split-screen: transverse sonogram of the left chest wall in the sixth intercostal space showing loculated pleural effusion (thin arrow) and pulmonary consolidation. Right side of the split screen: contrast-enhanced sonogram showing homogeneous and marked enhanced of the pulmonary consolidation with respect to the chest wall (large arrow).
