With the help of contrast enhanced ultrasound, the diagnostic accuracy of conventional sonography can be increased in many areas of otorhinolaryngology. Vascularisation and tissue perfusion can be objectified through the examination. This offers promising approaches for example to monitor the therapy of metastatic cervical lymph nodes or in the treatment of vascular malformations. Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound (CEUS) also offers great potential for differential diagnosis, for example of thyroid nodules. Valid threshold values for the quantitative time intensity curve (TIC) analysis of cervical pathologies are currently still not available. Further studies are necessary. As there is currently no license for the use of contrast enhanced ultrasound in otorhinolaryngology patients must be informed about its off-label use before the examination. This article is intended to provide an overview of the current possibilities and to serve as an introduction to the topic.
