Contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is well-established for the characterization of focal liver lesions (FLLs). By using intravenous ultrasound contrast agents, followed by specific low mechanical index examinations, CEUS enables a high spatial and temporal resolution as well as a dynamic assessment of macro- and microvascularization down to the capillaries. Nevertheless, CEUS has the disadvantage of being examiner-dependent, so quantitative analysis of time-intensity curves in dynamic CEUS (D-CEUS) could provide further information. The aim of this article is to provide a general review of the current literature regarding the usefulness of D-CEUS in the assessment of FLLs.
