CEUS (Contrast) Month – March 2025
Details and Registration: CEUS Resource Page
In partnership with the Australasian Sonographers Association (ASA), the British Medical Ultrasound Society (BMUS), and the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS).
Once again Sonography Canada is collaborating with ASA, BMUS, and SDMS to share sonography resources with our members around the world. March is Contrast Month! Contrast ultrasound is a game-changer in our field, enhancing traditional ultrasound with the use of a contrast agent made up of tiny gas-filled microbubbles. Once injected into the bloodstream, these microbubbles travel through the body, significantly improving the reflection of ultrasound waves. This results in much clearer and more detailed images of blood flow and the microvascular structure of tissues.
Contrast ultrasound is incredibly useful for a variety of applications in clinical practice. For example, it helps us better visualize liver lesions, differentiate between benign and malignant tumours, and assess organ perfusion. It’s also valuable in cardiology for evaluating myocardial perfusion and detecting cardiac shunts. By providing more precise imaging, contrast ultrasound allows us to make more accurate diagnoses and improve patient outcomes.
