摘要：
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.
