Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the pediatric bowel
May 12, 2021 — Pediatric Radiology Abstract Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has emerged as a valuable modality for bowel imaging in adults and children. CEUS enables visualization of the perfusion of the bowel wall and of the associated mesentery in healthy and disease states. In addition, CEUS images can be used to make quantitative measurements of […]
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the kidneys and adrenals in children
May 12, 2021 — Pediatric Radiology Abstract Pediatric applications of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) are growing. Evaluation of the kidneys and adrenal glands in children using intravenous administration of US contrast agents, however, is still an off-label indication. Pediatric CEUS applications for kidneys are similar to those in adults, including ischemic disorders, pseudo- versus real tumors, […]
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound for musculoskeletal indications in children
March 30, 2021 — Pediatric Radiology Abstract The increasing use of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has opened exciting new frontiers for musculoskeletal applications inadults and children. The most common musculoskeletal-re lated CEUS applications in adults are for detecting inflammatory jointdiseases, imaging skeletal muscles and tendon perfusion, imaging postoperative viability of osseous and osseocutaneous tissueflaps, and evaluating […]
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound of the pediatric brain
February 18, 2021 — Pediatric Radiology Abstract Brain contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an emerging application that can complement gray-scale US and yield additionalinsights into cerebral flow dynamics. CEUS uses intravenous injection of ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) to highlight tissueperfusion and thus more clearly delineate cerebral pathologies including stroke, hypoxic–ischemic injury and focal lesions suchas tumors […]
