Abstract:
:The combination of microbubble technology and complementary ultrasound techniques has resulted in the development of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and, although initial clinical applications largely focussed on the liver, these are now becoming more diverse. With regard to the kidney, it is a safe, well-tolerated, and reproducible technique, and in selected cases, can obviate the need for computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. A clear advantage is the absence of nephrotoxicity. With respect to the current and potential renal applications, it is a useful technique in the evaluation of pseudotumours, acute pyelonephritis, renal tumours, cystic lesions, vascular insults, and renal transplantation. It may also be of value for monitoring the kidney following anti-angiogenic treatment or nephron-sparing interventional techniques for renal tumours. Assessment of microvascular perfusion using time-intensity curves is also likely to have further far-reaching applications in the kidney as well as other organs.
