Fluid colour sign
The fluid colour sign is a diagnostic sign to differentiate a pleural effusion from pleural thickening by means of colour Doppler ultrasound. In the case of pleural effusion a colour signal is seen in the pleural fluid during respiratory and cardiac movement, whereas this colour signal is not se...

Quad sign
The quad sign is a static sonographic sign observed in pleural effusion. It consists of four lines representing the pleura, rib, fluid, and lung. Similar to the sinusoid sign, this sign has a high sensitivity and specificity for pleural effusion, which - when simple - is itself anechoic.
Article
Sinusoid sign (ultrasound)
The sinusoid sign is a dynamic sonographic sign, present when respiratory variation decreases the distance between the parietal and visceral pleura, when separated by a pleural effusion. Classically demonstrated in M-mode, the appearance of which the moniker is derived, it is specific for the id...

Pleural effusion volume (ultrasound)
Measurement of a pleural effusion volume with point-of-care ultrasonography may be a useful tool for intensivists and is an active area of research in critical care 7.
In controlled settings ultrasound may detect constitutive pleural fluid, can reliably detect effusions >20 mL in clinical setti...
