Role of Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound in the Diagnosis of Endometrial Tumors

Abstract

onventional ultrasound is the basic imaging procedure for endometrial examination, having definite advantages: obtaining real-time images, repeatability, low costs, etc. However, there are situations in which complex diagnosis requires the use of more sophisticated examination methods: Doppler ultrasound, 3D ultrasound, sonohysterography, etc. Over the past decade, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has gained increasing credibility. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound is a special examination technique that gains more and more importance. This allows a detailed real-time evaluation of microcirculation in a certain territory, which is impossible to perform by Doppler ultrasound
