Clinical practice recommendations for breast contrast-enhanced ultrasound: consensus statement by Chinese association of ultrasound in medicine and engineering, superficial organs and peripheral vessels expert panel (2025 Edition)
Breast contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)has been used in clinical practice for nearly two decades. CEUS provides real-time assessment of microvascular perfusion, offering valuable functional information complementary to conventional ultrasound. Nonetheless, the lack of standardization in relevant techniques has hindered the widespread adoption and further development of this technology. As a specialized committee, Superficial Organs and Peripheral Vessels Committee of Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering has always been committed to standardizing the clinical application of ultrasound. This expert consensus aims to standardize examination procedures, image interpretation, and reporting for diagnostic settings. It outlines key indications and provides recommendations on acquisition techniques, qualitative and quantitative analysis of enhancement patterns, and standardized lexicon for reporting.
