Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is gaining ever-increasing acceptance in the preoperative and postoperative evaluation of liver-transplanted patients. While indications are still a matter of research, CEUS is used in tertiary centers to supplement ultrasound (US) and Color Doppler US examination, with the potential of providing a comprehensive first-line ultrasound-based diagnosis. Alternatively, CEUS is used as a problem-solving tool when previous cross-sectional or US imaging was inconclusive, especially in assessing hepatocellular carcinoma, parenchymal perfusion abnormalities, the vascular status, and even the biliary tree. This review describes the potential use for CEUS in the setting of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT).

对比增强超声在肝移植成像中的应用。

对比增强超声 (CEUS) 在肝移植患者的术前和术后评估中越来越被接受。虽然适应症仍然是一个研究问题，但在三级中心使用 CEUS 来补充超声 (US) 和彩色多普勒超声检查，有可能提供全面的一线超声诊断。或者，当先前的横断面或 US 成像不确定时，CEUS 可用作解决问题的工具，尤其是在评估肝细胞癌、实质灌注异常、血管状态甚至胆道系统时。本综述描述了 CEUS 在原位肝移植 (OLT) 中的潜在用途。
