Intravenous contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) can serve as a diagnostic or problem-solving tool in pediatric imaging. CEUS of abdominal solid organs has been reported for a number of indications. The approach to the examination broadly falls into two categories: evaluation of a focal lesion or surveillance of an organ or organs for lesions or perfusion abnormalities. A consistent, technical imaging protocol for both of these clinical scenarios facilitates integration of routine use of CEUS in an imaging department. Here we review the CEUS imaging protocols for abdominal organs in children, including technical and solid-organ-specific considerations.
静脉内对比增强超声（CEUS）可作为儿科成像中的诊断或解决问题的工具。已经报道了用于多种适应症的腹部实质器官的 CEUS。检查方法大致分为两类：评估局灶性病变或监测器官或器官的病变或灌注异常。对于这两种临床情况，始终如一地使用技术成像协议有助于在影像科中常规使用 CEUS。在这里，我们回顾了儿童腹部器官的 CEUS 成像方案，包括技术和实质器官的具体考虑因素。
