ABSTRACT
In multimodal radiologic imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is increasingly used. One of the advantages of CEUS is the possibility of repeated application of contrast media without decreasing renal function or affecting the thyroid gland. Small solid liver lesions can be diagnosed and detected with high accuracy. Moreover, solid lesions in other abdominal organs can also be characterized. Frequent applications for solid lesions in the near field concern thyroid tumors and lymph nodes. For prostate diagnostics, CEUS can be used with an endorectal probe and perfusion imaging. This review explains how the additional (semi-)quantitative perfusion analysis, especially time-intensity curve (TIC) analyses, and wash-in/wash-out kinetics of integrated or external perfusion software programs facilitate new options in dynamic assessment of microvascularization during tumor follow-up care and even minimally invasive tumor therapy.
