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.

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 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 ...

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 ...

Practical Contrast Enhanced Liver Ultrasound
Radiologic Clinics of North America, 2022Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly performed for focal liver lesion evaluation because of its high safety profile and ability to yield a definitive diagnosis in many patients, obviating multiphase CT or MRI. CEUS uses specific ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) that are exceedingly safe, without the risk of renal or liver toxicity. UCAs

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 liver imaging
European Journal of Radiology, 2004Ultrasound contrast agents were originally introduced to enhance the Doppler signals when detecting vessels with low velocity flow or when imaging conditions were sub-optimal. Contrast agents showed additional properties, it was discovered that a parenchymal enhancement phase in the liver followed the enhancement of the blood pool. Contrast agents have

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.

Applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the kidney
Abdominal Radiology, 2017Incidental discovery of renal lesions on cross-sectional imaging studies performed for other indications is not uncommon. With the increased reliance on medical imaging, the number of incidentally detected renal lesions has also grown over time. While simple cysts account for the majority of these lesions, the presence of complex features within a ...

CONTRAST-ENHANCED ULTRASOUND OF THE FELINE KIDNEY
Veterinary Radiology & Ultrasound, 2010Contrast-enhanced ultrasound offers a noninvasive means of subjectively and quantitatively evaluating renal perfusion in cats with renal disease, or in renal transplant patients. In this study, we characterized the pattern of ultrasonographic contrast enhancement in 16 normal feline kidneys in eight cats using contrast-enhanced power Doppler and ...
