Magnetic Resonance Imaging Clinics of North America, 2017
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging is a recently approved technique in the United States that uses a specific contrast agent, namely, microbubbles, consisting mainly of a gas core and a stabilized biological shell. These compounds allow for the visualization of small vascular beds and improve characterization of anatomic structures and lesions.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Ventriculography
Operative Neurosurgery, 2012During external ventricular drainage (EVD) weaning, cranial computed tomography (cCT) is necessary to evaluate ventricle width. Because intrahospital transfer of critically ill patients is associated with higher mortality, bedside techniques are necessary to evaluate ventricle width.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in coxitis
Joint Bone Spine, 2016Hip involvement is common in rheumatological diseases but can be difficult to diagnose, especially in absence of MRI. B-mode ultrasound (US) detects joint capsule distention while distinguishing effusion from proliferative synovial tissue is strenuous since both appear hypoechoic. Power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) often fails to detect vascularisation in

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound of the Kidneys
2009Several imaging techniques can be used for visualization of the kidneys dependent on the indication. Ultrasound (US), computerized tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are most commonly used. US is a safe, relatively inexpensive, noninvasive, and widely available imaging method.

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound for the Prostate
2009Imaging of the prostate can be performed using different imaging techniques and has several applications in the evaluation of benign and malignant prostate diseases. Many imaging techniques are used to detect and follow up abnormalities of the prostate such as prostatitis, abscesses, benign prostate hyperplasia, and prostate cancer, or to investigate ...

Endoscopic Ultrasound: Contrast Enhancement
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Clinics of North America, 2012The development of ultrasound contrast agents has allowed for the evaluation of vascularity in digestive organs by contrast-enhanced endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS). Contrast-enhanced Doppler EUS and contrast-enhanced harmonic EUS (CH-EUS) have improved characterization of pancreatic tumors, lymph nodes, and gastrointestinal submucosal tumors and ...

Contrast-Enhanced Intraoperative Ultrasound of the Liver
Surgical Oncology Clinics of North America, 2022Contrast-enhanced intraoperative ultrasound (CE-IOUS) is a relatively new but valuable tool that is increasingly used as an adjunct to computed tomography, MRI, and IOUS for patients undergoing liver surgery. CE-IOUS has an important role in 2 main settings: the discrimination of indeterminate lesions detected in cirrhotic livers by conventional IOUS ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in pregnancy
Abdominal RadiologyThere are complex problems related to diagnostic imaging of the pregnant patient Cross sectional imaging with computed tomography (CT) tends to be avoided to due to the risk radiation poses to the fetus and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be limited due to avoidance of gadolinium contrast.While ultrasound (US) is the primary test for imaging in ...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound in urology
2018In contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), micrometer-sized, encapsulated, gas-filled microbubbles are employed to enhance the signals in ultrasound imaging. Since the microbubbles remain intravascular, CEUS is able to visualize perfusion of various tissues.
