Abstract

Abstract: Over the last few years, Ultrasound is readily available, cheap, safe, lacks ionizing radiation and accurately identifies the presence of structural abnormalities. Nevertheless, ultrasound, including Doppler ultrasound,these methods have some limitations,including failing to accurately identify and detect intraplaque neovascularization and intracranial aneurysms and so on.Recently,Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has been introduced as a technique that plays an important role in the assessment of to improving the detection of blood in the vessel and intraplaque neovascularization. CE-TCCS can improve the sensitivity and detection rate of intracranial aneurysms and more clear display of intracerebral hematoma location,shape,boundary, provide blood perfusion information of surrounding tissue in hematoma.

Key words: contrast-enhanced ultrasound, cerebrovascular disease, application
