What is Known:
• CEUS offers many advantages over CT and MRI and is underutilized in the United States. • It is only FDA approved for vesicoureteral reflux and liver in the pediatric population. However, off label uses are well described. | |
What is New:
• This pictorial essay describes ultrasound findings and contrast enhancement patterns associated with liver hemangioma, liver telangiectasia, splenic hamartoma, hemorrhagic ovarian cyst, urachal remnant, spinning top urethras, and kaposiform hemangioendothelioma. • We demonstrate the utility of CEUS in expanding the diagnostic potential of conventional ultrasound. |
