超声造影在肾脏疾病中的应用及前景

超声检查常常是评价肾脏疾病的首选成像方式。在多普勒成像中引入超声对比剂是超声检查中一项重大的进步，与CT或MR成像相比，由于超声对比剂无辐射，成本低，且不会扩散到血管外，故可实现实时多维成像，有利于快速诊断。随着声学对比剂的发展和成像软件的开发，超声造影已成为重要的诊断手段之一。就超声造影在常见肾脏疾病中的应用及前景予以综述。

Application and prospect of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in renal diseases

Ultrasound usually is the preferred imaging method in evaluating renal diseases. Introducing the ultrasound contrast agent to the Doppler imaging is a great progress in ultrasound examination. Comparing with CT or MR imaging, ultrasound contrast agent microbubbles characterized by no radiation, low cost, and don ’t spread to the extravascular space. Using real-time multiplanar imaging a rapid diagnosis can be archived. With the developments of the acoustic contrast and the imaging software, ultrasound imaging has become one of the important diagnostic methods. We summarized the application and prospect of contrast-enhanced ultrasound in renal diseases in this article.
