The role of contrast-enhanced ultrasound is evaluated in a range of pathologies, including ischemia, trauma, inflammation, cystic lesions, and solid tumors, as well as in the imaging of anatomic variants. New applications, for example monitoring of kidney transplantation, assessment of urinary bladder lesions, and diagnosis of vesico-ureteric reflux, are also covered. The presented cases, drawn from the authors’ personal clinical caseload, include images obtained using multimodality techniques, sometimes with 3D CT reconstruction. The authors’ own experiences are compared with the most recent reports in the scientific literature.Urinary organsUltrasonic imagingUrinary organsUltrasonic imaging.616.07/57616.607543Regine Giovanniauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut721321Atzori MaurizioFabbri RomanoMiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910438132503321Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound of the Urinary Tract2096672UNINA
