The Shredshred sign, also known as the fractal signis, is a static sonographic sign observed inof lung consolidation. The deeper border of consolidatedConsolidated lung tissue appears as a subpleural hypoechoic region that makes contact with thehas an irregular (shredded) deep border (fractal line) abutting normally aerated lung is shredded and irregular, which has echogenic artifacts.
This sign is not seen in massive translobar consolidation in which, where it is more difficult to appreciate the deeper border of the lung. It has a high sensitivity and specificity.
