Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)

Radiation-Free. Real-Time. Remarkably Sensitive.
CEUS is a cutting-edge imaging modality that uses microbubble contrast agents to highlight vascularity in real time—without radiation. It offers unmatched sensitivity to blood flow, especially in lesions or regions that grayscale ultrasound might miss.

Advantages of CEUS

 Radiation-free technique

 Real-time imaging

 Robust enhancement patterns

 Cutting-edge technology

 Used across liver, kidney, male & female pelvic organs

 Bedside imaging capability

 Safe for patients with renal failure

 Highly sensitive to microbubble contrast

 Low incidence of contrast reactions

 Repeatable for follow-up

 Lower wait times for imaging

 Ideal for claustrophobic or critically ill patients

Figure 1 — Contrast Enhanced US (CEUS) and paired grayscale US images showing robust contrast enhancement within the nodular peripheral areas of viable tumor (arrows) in a treated hepatic cavity just 30 seconds after the microbubble injection.

Figure 2 — Paired grayscale US and CEUS images showing remarkable sensitivity of this modality to its’ contrast agent where a benign liver lesion enhances significantly only 14 seconds after the microbubble contrast injection (arrows). Please note that lesion is nearly impossible to see on conventional grayscale US.

Figure 3 — Non contrast CT shows an indeterminate lesion arising from the superior pole right kidney (arrow). Grayscale ultrasound (b) shows a solid mass with mixed echogenicity (arrow). CEUS shows enhancement (arrow) in the early arterial phase at 17 seconds (c) post microbubble injection with washout (arrow) at 2minutes (d), consistent with renal cell carcinoma, later pathologically proven as papillary renal cell carcinoma.

Figure 4 — Paired grayscale US and CEUS images of the uterus insagittal view demonstrating a hyperechoic endometrial mass with early arterial hyperenhancement at 20 seconds post microbubble contrast injection with invasion of the myometrium(arrow).

Figure 5 — Paired grayscale US and CEUS images of the uterus insagittal view at 12 (a) and 25 seconds (b) after microbubble contrast injection demonstrating an ill-defined hyperechoic lesion with synchronous and rapid enhancement of the entire lesion (arrows) consistent with typical imaging findings of a focal uterine adenomyoma.
