摘　　要：Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease. Accurate imaging evaluation of the transplanted patient is critical for ensuring that the limited donor liver is functioning appropriately. Ultrasound contrast agents(UCAs), in combination with contrastspecific imaging techniques, are increasingly accepted in clinical use for the assessment of the hepatic vasculature, bile ducts and liver parenchyma in pre-, intra- and posttransplant patients. We describe UCAs, their technical requirements, the recommended clinical indications, image interpretation and the limitations for contrastenhanced ultrasound applications in liver transplantation.Liver transplantation is an effective treatment for patients with end-stage liver disease.
