Core Tip	Contrast enhanced ultrasound has completely changed the ultrasound liver imaging of the colorectal cancer patient, notably increasing its sensitivity and accuracy in metastases detection. Clinical studies have reported that the use of a contrast agent enables the visualization of more metastases with significantly improved sensitivity and specificity compared to baseline-ultrasound. Furthermore, studies have shown that contrast enhanced ultrasound yields sensitivities comparable to computed tomography. In this review, we describe the state of the art of this technique.
