Cadence contrast pulse sequencing (CPS) technology enhances ultrasound contrast imaging. This advanced method improves sensitivity, penetration, and workflow efficiency for contrast agent examinations.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Ultrasound Technology
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) examinations are crucial for clinical diagnosis.
  • Current CEUS workflows can be limited by suboptimal image quality and manual analysis steps.
  • There is a need for advanced technologies to improve CEUS sensitivity, penetration, and efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate the Cadence contrast pulse sequencing (CPS) technology for CEUS.
  • To assess the benefits of auto tracking contrast quantification (ACQ) in improving CEUS analysis.
  • To demonstrate the potential of CPS and ACQ to enhance clinical information and workflow efficiency.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing Cadence contrast pulse sequencing (CPS) technology, which leverages non-linear microbubble energy.
