Ultrasound enhancing agents (UEAs) are increasingly becoming essential tools to enhance diagnostic accuracy in pediatric ultrasound and improve treatment outcomes, especially in cases that present technical challenges. Given the unique anatomical and physiological considerations in children, healthcare professionals in the pediatric field must stay current with advancements in UEA applications that can influence clinical decision-making. In this webinar, faculty will discuss the feasibility, value, and safety of UEAs in pediatric clinical settings, offering insights into how these agents can be used effectively in day-to-day care.
