Abstract Due to its characteristics of noninvasive, real-time, and high diagnosis ratios, contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging has played an increasingly important role in cancer diagnosis. Herein, the latest research progress of contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging was summarized in this paper, mainly including following aspects: 1) Subharmonic ultrasound imaging with a higher contrast-to-tissue ratio and superior penetration performance, which are due to detection of the lower frequency component of the microbubbles′ backscatter echoes; 2) Application of plane-wave emission technology in ultrasound contrast imaging that is capable of increasing temporal resolution whilst reducing microbubble′s destruction; 3) Coded excitation based ultrasound contrast imaging to obtain a better penetration; 4) Experimental research on new types of ultrasound contrast agents for ultrahigh frequency imaging.
