In this image air remaining within the larger airways in an area of consolidated lung (air bronchogram) manifests as echogenic branching structures.

Although ultrasound has a limited role in imaging of the lung, when the parenchyma is consolidated the absence of air allows for sound transmission and thus imaging.
