Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound

5000+ scans done & counting

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) is a dynamic and innovative imaging procedure that has greatly expanded the field of ultrasound imaging. The procedure employs the use of contrast agents—small, gas-filled microbubbles—to improve the visualization of blood flow and tissue vascularity. This enhances the quality of the ultrasound images, helping doctors evaluate and diagnose a variety of conditions more accurately.

CEUS can be applied to a wide array of clinical issues such as detection and characterization of lesions in organs like the liver, kidney, and pancreas, improving the visualization of vascular diseases, and assisting in interventional procedures. This technique is not only non-invasive but also free from ionizing radiation, making it a safe diagnostic tool with high patient compliance.

Specific Instructions:

When preparing for a Doppler TVS examination, it's crucial to follow certain instructions:

  • Fasting: Typically, no fasting is required for a CEUS. However, for some specific examinations, your doctor might ask you to avoid eating or drinking for a few hours before the procedure.
  • Medications: Usually, there are no specific restrictions concerning medications. However, if you are on any treatment, it's best to discuss this with your doctor during your pre-procedure consultation.
  • Allergies: If you have any known allergies, particularly to ultrasound contrast agents or any specific medications, inform your doctor prior to the procedure

The examination doesn't require fasting or any special dietary preparation. It's always wise to discuss with your doctor if you have any allergies, particularly to latex, as the transducer is often covered with a latex sheath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) is an advanced imaging procedure that uses contrast agents—microscopic bubbles that enhance the ultrasound signal—to create more detailed and clear images of the inside of the body, particularly the blood vessels and organs.

In CEUS, a contrast agent is injected into the patient's vein. This agent, made up of tiny gas-filled microbubbles, travels through the bloodstream, enhancing the echoes of the ultrasound waves and creating a clearer, more detailed image of the body's internal structures.

CEUS offers several benefits over traditional ultrasound. It provides real-time, dynamic imaging and can offer clear and detailed images of blood flow in various organs. It's also non-invasive and does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a safer diagnostic tool.

During a CEUS, a contrast agent is injected into your vein. You'll then undergo an ultrasound scan, which typically involves a device called a transducer being moved over the skin in the area of interest. The procedure is usually painless and lasts about 15-30 minutes.

Generally, no specific preparation is required for a CEUS. However, your doctor will give you specific instructions based on the type of examination you are scheduled for.

CEUS is generally safe and well-tolerated. However, as with any procedure involving contrast agents, there is a small risk of allergic reaction. Other rare complications could include discomfort at the injection site or changes in heart rate or blood pressure.

Your doctor will typically review the images and discuss the results with you shortly after the procedure. If a biopsy or further testing is required, it may take a few days to receive those results.

While CEUS is a safe procedure for most people, it may not be recommended for patients with severe heart or lung conditions. As always, it's important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your doctor.

If the CEUS detects something abnormal, your doctor will discuss the findings with you and recommend the appropriate next steps. This could involve further testing, treatment, or monitoring depending on the specific findings.

Yes, most patients can return to their normal activities immediately following a CEUS. If you have any questions or concerns about your post-procedure activities, be sure to discuss them with your doctor.
