Abstract
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a specialized ultrasound performed with microbubble contrast agents. It is valuable for characterizing hepatic lesions without renal toxicity or radiation hazard. This review provides up-to-date practical knowledge of CEUS to make the interpretation of CEUS more accurate and clinically relevant. It includes the principle of CEUS, comparison of two kinds of contrast agents (the pure blood-pool agent and the Kupffer agent), diagnostic criteria for hepatocellular carcinoma, and its role in the diagnostic algorithms.
