Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the follow-up of pediatric abdominal injuries: value and timing

Contrast - Enhanced Ultrasonography ( CEUS ) of Liver

The Predictive Value of Abdominal Ultrasonography Compared to CT Scan for the Evaluation of Pediatric Lymphoma

Background: Given the children's susceptibility to the harmful radiation of computerized tomography (CT) scans, ultrasonography can be a good alternative in staging pediatric lymphoma. The present study aimed to assess the predictive value of abdominal ultrasonography compared to CT scan in children with lymphoma. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two children with confirmed lymphoma were included ...

Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in blunt abdominal trauma

In the assessment of polytrauma patient, an accurate diagnostic study protocol with high sensitivity and specificity is necessary. Computed Tomography (CT) is the standard reference in the emergency for evaluating the patients with abdominal trauma. Ultrasonography (US) has a high sensitivity in detecting free fluid in the peritoneum, but it does not show as much sensitivity for traumatic paren...

Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography: advance and current status in abdominal imaging

In the field of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (US), contrast agents are classified as either first- or second-generation agents depending on the gas within the microbubbles. In the case of first-generation contrast agents, a high-mechanical-index technique is used and only intermittent scanning is possible due to the early destruction of the microbubbles during the scanning. The use of seco...

Regional Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography (CEUS) Characteristics of Breast Cancer and Correlation with Microvessel Density (MVD)

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the perfusion characteristics of different breast lesion regions in contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 161 malignant and benign breast lesion cases were subjected to CEUS. Perfusion parameters were analyzed and compared between the central and peripheral lesion regions, and surrounding tissue. Mass sectio...
