Summary: 
a) Example of an anechoic pleural effusion. It presents as an echo-free space between the visceral and parietal pleura. Compressive atelectasis of the lung may be seen as a tongue-like structure in a large effusion. Note the difference to the effusion in b), which is classified as complex septated. Multiple septa form many compartments in the same effusion. PE: pleural effusion; L: lung; S: septum.
