Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS)

Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) is a medical imaging technique that uses special contrast agents, typically microbubbles, to improve the quality of ultrasound images. During the procedure, a healthcare provider injects these bubbles into a patient’s bloodstream. As the ultrasound machine produces sound waves, the bubbles reflect these waves, creating clearer and more detailed images of blood flow and organs. CEUS is particularly useful for assessing tumors, liver conditions, and heart function, as it can help doctors see changes that might not be visible with standard ultrasound alone. It's safe, quick, and generally well-tolerated by patients.
