Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography combined with microbubbles for uterine disorders: Current trends and future perspectives.

Uterine disorders, including fibroids, polyps, and carcinomas, represent significant health concerns for women. Conventional diagnostic methods, including ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, often lack the sensitivity required to accurately delineate and evaluate these lesions. Consequently, there is a growing need for advanced imaging techniques to enhance both diagnostic precision and therapeutic decision-making. Standard imaging modalities typically provide low resolution, limiting their effectiveness in evaluating uterine pathology and determining optimal treatment strategies. In this context, microbubbles combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasonography offer a promising solution. This technique enhances the visualization of vascular patterns and tissue perfusion, facilitating a more accurate assessment of uterine lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is less invasive, is more cost-effective, and offers real-time evaluation of vascular characteristics, making it a valuable tool for diagnosing uterine abnormalities. This review explores the clinical utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with microbubbles in uterine diseases, focusing on its diagnostic accuracy, comparison with traditional imaging techniques, and its potential to improve the management of uterine pathology.
