Paediatric Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS): A Technique that Requires Co-operation for Rapid Implementation into Clinical Practice Kontrastverstärkter Ultraschall (CEUS) in der Pädiatrie: Notwendigkeit der Zusammenarbeit für eine schnelle Anwendung in der klinischen Praxis

There are continuing efforts to reduce radiation exposure in children, and it is widely acknowledged by learned societies dealing with paediatric imaging, that ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging need to be used more often. Computed Tomography (CT) has an essential role but overuse and hence increased radiation exposure in children is a recognised problem. There have been a number of studies that point out the long-term detrimental effects of radiation in the
