Ecografia con mezzo di contrasto in ambito pediatrico: uno sguardo al futuro

Abstract

Over the past decade, the experience gained on the use of Contrast Enhancement Ultrasound (CEUS) and the increasing number of scientific publications about the topic have allowed this method to become an alternative to the traditional imaging methods, especially in paediatric Radiology. CEUS is a bedside ultrasound, radiation-free, repeatable and almost without risk of adverse reactions to the contrast. CEUS represent an additional weapon for diagnostic and follow-up purposes in the paediatric patient.
