肝移植是治疗终末期肝病的有效方法。对移植患者进行准确的影像学评估对于确保有限的供体肝脏正常工作至关重要。超声造影剂（UCA）与造影剂特异性成像技术相结合，在临床上越来越多地被接受用于评估移植前、移植中和移植后患者的肝血管、胆管和肝实质。我们描述了UCA，其技术要求，推荐的临床适应症，图像解释和限制，超声造影在肝移植中的应用。
Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. Accurate imaging evaluation of the transplanted patient is critical for ensuring that the limited donor liver is functioning appropriately. Ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs), in combination with contrast-specific imaging techniques, are increasingly accepted in clinical use for the assessment of the hepatic vasculature, bile ducts and liver parenchyma in pre-, intra-and post-transplant patients. We describe UCAs, their technical requirements, the recommended clinical indications, image interpretation and the limitations for contrast-enhanced ultrasound applications in liver transplantation.
