Figure 2 Hemothorax on bedside ultrasonography.
Hemothorax can be seen as hypoechoic area (asterisk) above the liver. Of note, movement of the lung within the pleural fluid can often be appreciated during the progression of the respiratory cycle. The kidney (K) and the diaphragm (arrow) can be easily seen, with the wedge of the liver located above.
