Abstract

Background

- Liver trauma

- Need for prompt intervention

• IR limitations

- High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU)

• Rapid hemostasis but limited image-guidance

- Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)

• microbubbles filled with a gas

- HIFU + CEUS

• Real-time identification and targeted treatment of bleeding vessels?
• Rapid, noninvasive, and effective means of achieving meostasis?
