Feb

Overview

CEUS uses intravascular microbubble agents to visualize real time perfusion without ionizing radiation useful for focal lesion characterization.

Technique

Low mechanical index imaging preserves microbubbles. Timing and bolus technique affect enhancement patterns.

Clinical Uses

Liver lesion characterization focal renal and splenic lesions and guidance for ablation.

Limitations and Safety

Contrast contraindications are rare. Operator skill and availability influence use.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI

Feb

Overview

MRI uses strong magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses to generate images with excellent soft tissue contrast and multiple contrast mechanisms without ionizing radiation.

Technique

Sequences such as T1 T2 FLAIR DWI and GRE and advanced methods including diffusion perfusion and spectroscopy tailor contrast to the clinical question.

Clinical Uses

MRI is preferred for neurologic musculoskeletal cardiac and pelvic imaging and for characterization of soft tissue and marrow lesions.

Limitations and Safety

Contraindications include certain implants and claustrophobia. Gadolinium contrast has rare risks and should be used judiciously.
