The value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of microcirculatory perfusion abnormalities in diabetic foot

ConclusionsMicrocirculatory impairment in the dorsum of the foot in T2DM patients presents itself as “delayed wash-in, delayed wash-out, and weak enhancement” on CEUS images. CEUS can provide quantification of the microcirculatory changes in the soft tissues in the dorsum of the foot and reflect the differences of microcirculatory perfusion across different grades of lesions.
