GE LOGIQ S8 Offers Coded Contrast Imaging Beneficial in Large Vessel Vasculitis Diagnosis

Check out this article describing a study that found that contrast enhanced ultrasound may be effective in diagnosing large vessel vasculitis. The researchers concluded, “The correlation between CEUS (Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound) and 18F-FDG uptake suggests an association between vascularization and inflammation and supports the use of CEUS as a noninvasive method able to detect disease activity in patients with LVV.” The GE LOGIQ S8 has an available option called “Coded Contrast Imaging” that would help in this diagnosis.
