Technological review: contrast-enhanced ultrasonography This paper reviews properties of contrast agents used in ultrasonography and describes their interaction with the ultrasound wave during imaging. CAP_01_Greis.pdf        Contrast enhanced US in the detection of liver metastases from colorectal cancer A characteristic feature of all liver metastases is neoangiogenesis, which guarantees the tumour an adequate flow of blood from the hepatic arterial supply. Liver metastases typically develop new microvasculature internally... CAP_3_Larsen        The role for contrast-enhanced ultrasonography outside of focal liver lesions There are many possible uses of contrast-enhanced US outside of focal liver lesions; this paper highlights the most established applications as well as some innovative ones. CAP_05_Sidhu.pdf        Detection and characterisation of focal liver lesions using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography The unique haemodynamics of the liver provide both opportunities and – in the case of cirrhotic liver – challenges for the differential diagnosis of focal liver lesions using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (US). CAP-2_leen.pdf        Dynamic contrast-enhanced US: a new quantitative analysis of tumour perfusion A new approach to the treatment of cancer involves the use of drugs that block a tumour’s blood supply, either by destroying existing vessels (antivascular agents) or by preventing the formation of new vessels (antiangiogenic agents)... CAP_4_Lassau        Contrast-enhanced US assessment of perfusion in free flat grafts: a novel application Carcinoma of the oropharynx, which represents 2%-4% of all cancers, has a poor prognosis and a 5-year survival rate of 50%. Treatment consists of excision of the tumour and surgical repair using a free tissue flap, from the scapula or forearm... CAP_06_Greaves.pdf        EFSUMB guidelines for the use of contrast agents in ultrasonography, second edition Since 2004, there have been many advances in the field of contrast-enhanced US and several new clinical applications have been developed. Therefore, the EFSUMB study group began working to revise these guidelines...
