Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a relatively new imaging modality in the realm of neurosurgical disease. CEUS permits the examination of blood flow through arteries, veins, and capillaries via intravascular contrast agents and allows vascular architectural mapping with extreme sensitivity and specificity. While it has established utility in other organ systems such as the liver and kidneys, CEUS has not been studied extensively in the brain. This report presents a review of the literature on the neurosurgical applications of CEUS and provides an outline of the imaging modality's role in the diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment of neurosurgical disease.
超声造影（CEUS）是神经外科疾病领域中一种相对较新的成像方式。CEUS 通过血管内对比剂允许检查动脉、静脉和毛细血管的血流，并以极高的灵敏度和特异性进行血管结构成像。虽然它在肝脏和肾脏等其他器官系统中已经有了广泛的应用，但在大脑中尚未进行广泛研究。本报告回顾了 CEUS 在神经外科应用方面的文献，并概述了该成像方式在神经外科疾病的诊断、评估和治疗中的作用。
