Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in the management of pediatric renal injuries: where are we now?
CEUS is useful as first imaging study in low-energy and localized trauma, but confidence with CEUS is still to be improved and spread, to replace CT in selected cases. CEUS is valuable for detecting complications, avoiding repeat CT in most of cases. In expert hands CEUS can identify and monitor leakage indirectly.
