Abstract

Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEU) has been successfully used in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). It improves the detection of the vascularization in the primary tumor. Technical considerations, relevant concepts on SCC and CEU, and the advantages and disadvantages of using contrast in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma are discussed in this chapter.
