Summary
This study proposes to evaluate the accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in
diagnosing abdominal solid organ injuries in pediatric patients. 146 subjects will be
enrolled across approximately 8 sites in the US. All subjects will have had a Computerized
Tomography (CT) scan as part of standard of care, confirming at least one solid organ
abdominal injury. All subjects will have an abdominal ultrasound without contrast, followed
by a contrast-enhanced ultrasound using the contrast agent Lumason. Ultrasound and
contrast-enhanced ultrasound results will be compared to the CT scan results. The study
procedures will take place within 48 hours of injury.
