Illuminating the liver: From nodules to neoplasms CEUS in action
11:20 AM - 11:40 AMPresentation Synopsis / Abstract
Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) has been of great use world-wide however has not been widely adapted into sonographic practice in Australia as of yet. The Royal Adelaide Hospital (RAH) has been using CEUS for a range of organs and pathologies for the past 4 years and great results.
CEUS gives real time dynamic imaging, it is used for diagnostic accuracy and problem solving CT and MRI.
Benefits of CEUS include no nephrotoxicity, radiation free and the portability of ultrasound. CEUS empowers sonographers allowing ultrasound to go from a modality that is a pathology filter to a modality that gives diagnostic certainty.
Learn about the RAH's CEUS journey, learn about how to do it, when to do it and witness a range of interesting cases of pathologies encountered in clinical practice. Hopefully this will inspire the use of CEUS in your clinical practice in the future.
