Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound for Image-Guided Procedures

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) uses intravenously injected gas microbubbles as a pure blood pool contrast agent to demonstrate blood flow and tissue perfusion at a much higher sensitivity than color Doppler and power Doppler ultrasound. CEUS has gained traction in abdominal diagnostic imaging for improved lesion detection and characterization and a complementary problem-solving tool to CT and MRI. In addition to its diagnostic applications, CEUS has also proven useful for pre-procedure planning, procedure guidance, and post-procedure evaluation. This review provides a practical overview and guides to the application of CEUS in percutaneous, ultrasound-guided, needle-driven procedures, focusing on 2 common procedures, which illustrate the many benefits of CEUS– core needle biopsy (CNB) and percutaneous hepatic lesion ablation.
