This article summarizes the recent advances in ultrasound imaging of the liver, especially contrast-enhanced imaging. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound has dramatically changed the role of ultrasound in liver tumor characterization, detection, and other applications. Available ultrasound contrast agents, agents under development, contrast-specific imaging techniques, and its applications in liver imaging are discussed.
