Guidelines and good clinical practice recommendations for Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) in the liver - update 2012: A WFUMB-EFSUMB initiative in cooperation with representatives of AFSUMB, AIUM, ASUM, FLAUS and ICUS.

TL;DR: These liver CEUS guidelines and recommendations are intended to create standard protocols for the use and administration of UCA in liver applications on an international basis and improve the management of patients worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

The EFSUMB guidelines and recommendations for the clinical practice of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in Non-Hepatic Applications: Update 2017 (Long Version)

TL;DR: The updated version of the EFSUMB guidelines on the application of non-hepatic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) deals with the use of microbubble ultrasound contrast outside the liver in the many established and emerging applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diagnostic and economic impact of contrast imaging techniques in the diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma in cirrhosis

TL;DR: In patients with cirrhosis with a 1–2 cm nodule detected during surveillance, a single imaging technique showing a typical contrast pattern confidently permits the diagnosis of HCC, thereby reducing the need for FNB examinations.

Characterization of focal hepatic lesions with Pulse Inversion Harmonic Imaging (PIHI) using a second generation US contrast agent.

TL;DR: Whether contrast enhanced Pulse Inversion Harmonic Imaging (PIHI) with BR1 could characterize different focal liver lesions was determined.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simultaneous voiding cystourethrography and voiding urosonography reveals utility of sonographic diagnosis of vesicoureteral reflux in children.

TL;DR: To evaluate the diagnostic potential of voiding urosonography compared with fluoroscopic voiding cystourethrography under identical conditions and to evaluate potential reasons for false‐negative VUS results, particularly regarding bladder concentrations of the US contrast agent, Levovist, is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Vesicoureteral reflux in young patients: Comparison of voiding color Doppler US with echo enhancement versus voiding cystourethrography for diagnosis or exclusion

TL;DR: V voiding color Doppler US with echo enhancement is useful for the diagnosis or exclusion of VUR, being as good as VCUG, therefore, it may reduce the number of patients exposed to ionizing radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrast-Enhanced Doppler Ultrasound of Renal Artery Stenosis: Prologue to a Promising Future.

TL;DR: State‐of‐the‐art contrast‐enhanced Doppler US seems to have the potential to become a useful screening test for patients at risk from renovascular hypertension and a tool for follow-up of patients who undergo revascularization procedures.

Contrast Ultrasound Technology

TL;DR: One of the major diagnostic objectives in using an ultrasound contrast agent in the liver is to detect flow in the circulation at a level that is lower than would otherwise be possible.
