Oncologists and their epidemiology colleagues have long recognized that much of cancer was not a simple matter of chance but to a very significant extent was related to our behaviour, the potential carcinogenic exposures we were subjected to in our personal and work environments, and the access individuals had to advances in cancer screening. Everyone is familiar with the documented impact that measures to reduce tobacco usage have had on the incidence of cancer – a prime example of changing behaviour. Many believe that the epidemic of obesity occurring now will have an even greater impact on increasing the risk and incidence of many cancers. There are an increasing number of validated methods available today for detecting cancer at its very earliest stages but the challenge to the use of these technologies will depend ultimately on access and affordability.

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a revolutionary technique that combines all the benefits of contract-enhanced imaging with the high-resolution and real-time nature of diagnostic ultrasound. CEUS has undergone many technologic advances resulting in development of second-generation contrast agents MORE
