Vasi addominali

  • Chapter
Mezzi di contrasto in ecografia

Estratto

Il maggior interesse applicativo dell’ecocontrastografia (CEUS) è chiaramente dato dai piccoli vasi intraparenchimali ed intralesionali, in gran parte al di sotto della sensibilità dell’US fondamentale ed anche di quella del color e power Doppler. Tuttavia, anche lo studio dei grossi vasi addominali può offrire delle utili possibilità di impiego per la CEUS, sebbene in questo campo la “concorrenza”, del color Doppler da un lato e della TC dall’altro, sia consistente e quindi le applicazioni della CEUS siano, almeno allo stato attuale, limitate se non “di nicchia”. D’altro canto, lo studio dei grossi vasi con color e power Doppler è stato il primo ambito di impiego dei mezzi di contrasto ecografici, alla metà degli anni ’90, allorquando questi venivano definiti come “agenti ecoamplificatori” e venivano utilizzati, appunto, per incrementare un segnale Doppler altrimenti scarso.
