Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound in Chronic Liver Diseases
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a safe adjunct tool for liver imaging and can be an alternative to computed tomography or MR imaging. CEUS has a proven track record in guiding management for patients with chronic liver disease who need further evaluation of focal liver lesions. CEUS is a dynamic examination with high temporal and spatial resolution. CEUS uses a pure blood pool contrast agent that allows for a unique evaluation of the perfusion kinetics of a region of interest.
