Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (DCE-US) is an imaging technique that utilizes microbubble contrast agents in diagnostic ultrasound. The EFSUMB guidelines published in 2004, updated in 2008 and 2011 focused on the use of DCE-US, including essential technical requirements, training, investigational procedures and steps, guidance on image interpretation, established and recommended clinical indications and safety considerations. However the quantification of images acquired with ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) is not discussed in the guidelines. The purpose of this EFSUMB document is to provide some recommendations and descriptions of the quantification of ultrasound images, technical requirements for analysis of time-intensity curves (TICs), methodology for data analysis, and interpretation of the results.
动态对比增强超声（DCE-US）是一种利用诊断超声中的微泡对比剂的成像技术。2004 年发表的 EFSUMB 指南，分别于 2008 年和 2011 年进行了更新，重点关注 DCE-US 的应用，包括基本技术要求、培训、研究程序和步骤、图像解读指导、已确立和推荐的临床适应证以及安全性考虑。然而，这些指南中并未讨论超声对比剂（UCAs）获得的图像的定量。本文的目的是为超声图像的定量分析提供一些建议和描述，包括分析时间-强度曲线（TICs）的技术要求、数据分析方法以及结果解读。
