How to set-up and perform contrast-enhanced ultrasound
© 2019 Australasian Society for Ultrasound in Medicine..
Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is an important part of current ultrasound imaging practice. Sonographers, radiologists and other sonologists should consider CEUS as a standard tool in the diagnostic toolbox of ultrasound and utilise it liberally to solve a wide range of imaging problems whilst reducing the need to resort to CT or MRI. Setting up a CEUS service is within easy reach of all motivated practitioners. The initial process requires assessment of the demand for CEUS, ensuring staff readiness, preparing administrative processes and obtaining CEUS supplies. The CEUS examination includes gaining informed consent, ensuring authorisation to administer contrast agent (preferably by means of a standing order), conventional pre-scan of the area of interest, insertion of a peripheral IV cannula, preparation of the contrast agent, initiation of the contrast imaging mode, administration of the contrast agent, performance of the examination and aftercare. A number of other important considerations are discussed including cannulation and IV certification, scopes of practice for sonographers performing CEUS, contrast dosing, scheduling, training, interpretation, reporting and quality control.
