A Touch of CEUS Physics: Quantification and the Future – CME

Please Note: This program has been approved for Physician CME Credit

Program Description / Statement of Need:

This webinar titled "A Touch of CEUS Physics: Quantification and the Future", will focus on understanding the principles of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) imaging and its various approaches to quantification. During this webinar, we will explore the physics of ultrasound waves and how they interact with microbubbles, which are used as contrast agents in CEUS imaging. This will help to provide a better understanding of the fundamental principles behind CEUS imaging. Additionally, we will discuss approaches to CEUS quantification, including methods for measuring blood flow and tissue perfusion, as well as evaluating contrast agent kinetics in different tissues. Understanding these approaches can aid in the accurate interpretation of CEUS images and provide valuable information for clinical decision-making. Finally, we will review developing technologies and applications of CEUS imaging, providing insight into the exciting future of this rapidly evolving field. We will also explore the potential impact of these advancements on the diagnosis and treatment of various medical conditions. Join us for this informative and engaging webinar as we delve into the world of CEUS imaging and its role in the future of medical imaging.
