Abstract

Contrast-enhanced US (CEUS) has an important role as a supplement to CT or MRI in clinical practice. The main established utilizations are in the liver and the kidney. The primary advantages of CEUS compared with contrast-enhanced CT or MRI relate to its superior contrast resolution, real-time continuous scanning, pure intravascular nature, portability, and safety-especially in patients with renal impairment or CT or MRI contrast agent allergy. This article focuses on the use of CEUS in the liver and kidney.
