Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a medical imaging technique that enhances the visualization of blood flow and tissue perfusion using ultrasound technology along with contrast agents. The contrast agents used in CEUS are typically microbubble-based, consisting of tiny gas-filled bubbles that are injected into the bloodstream. These microbubbles are designed to reflect ultrasound waves, making it easier to visualize blood vessels, organ structures, and abnormalities during the ultrasound examination.
