ABSTRACT
When performing contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), ultrasound (US) scanner settings, examination technique, and contrast agent dose and administration must be optimized to ensure that high-quality, diagnostic and reproducible images are acquired for qualitative and quantitative interpretations. When carrying out CEUS in children, examination settings should be tailored to their body size and specific indications, similar to B-mode US. This review article details the basic background knowledge that is needed to perform CEUS optimally in children, including considerations related to US scanner settings and US contrast agent dose selection and administration techniques.
