Contrast Imaging
Contrast Imaging Overview
Contrast Imaging
Option NOT
Available in the
United States
See Chapter 17 for probe availability.
By adjusting the acoustic output, you can enhance either
contrast harmonics or stimulated acoustic emission (SAE).
Benefits Injected contrast agents re-emit incident acoustic energy at a
harmonic frequency much more efficiently than the surrounding
tissue. Blood containing the contrast agent stands out brightly
against a dark background of normal tissue.
Clinical Use Possible clinical uses are to detect and characterize tumors of
the liver, kidney, and pancreas and to enhance flow signals in
the determination of stenosis or thrombus.
CAUTION
Please be advised that Contrast imaging MAY NOT BE
available on your system. Contrast agents for radiology use are
undergoing clinical trial and therefore, not yet available in the
United States.
