ICUS Virtual Exhibits – International Contrast Ultrasound Society

CLICK HERE to visit Virtual Exhibit Booths

Sponsor exhibits play an important role alongside all live ICUS educational programs. They offer participants an important opportunity to see how different ultrasound products look, feel, and are prepared and used to produce excellent CEUS images and improve patient care.

As ICUS expands its free online educational programs, new Virtual Exhibits simulate the traditional exhibit experience offered alongside live educational programs — and are accessible globally 24/7 by physicians, nurses, sonographers, students and other ultrasound professionals.

ICUS Virtual Exhibits provide important information about operational platforms, unique features or designs, labeling, storage and administration of agents, and most importantly how to optimize and use these products to achieve excellent CEUS imaging.

Virtual Exhibits are enduring additions to the ICUS website and will remain online and accessible even after our live educational programs and exhibits resume.

ICUS believes “boxed warnings” on ultrasound contrast agents are outdated and may unduly deter use of safe, potentially life-saving medical products. ICUS recently filed a Citizen Petition asking the FDA to remove the “black box” -- citing new scientific studies that demonstrate safety and efficacy, along with precedent for reversal of a “black box” when scientific data demonstrate that risks are less severe than previously thought. Numerous ultrasound organizations and CEUS experts have submitted statements supporting the ICUS Citizen Petition.

CEUS shows kidney mass is benign after CT suggests cancer

By Giuseppe V. Toia, MD, MS Fellow Abdominal Imaging, Department of Radiology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA

Ms. B. is a young, healthy 27-year-old woman who visited a local hospital emergency room with a fever of unknown origin. Physicians there performed a routine contrast-enhanced CT scan of her abdomen and found a 2.9 cm left kidney mass (Figure 1), although they were unable to determine the source of her fever.

The CT showed unfirmly weak contrast enhancement. CT characterization of the kidney mass would have required more radiation, which was to be avoided in this young woman since unnecessary diagnostic radiation may be associated with an increased risk of cancer that is cumulative over a patient’s lifetime.
