The article reveals the issues related to the possibility of using ultrasonic research with contrast agents (CEUS) in diagnostics of a wide range of surgical, gynecologic, therapeutic pathologies. Own observations, clinical examples are given of application of the latest ultrasonic visualization techniques for diagnosing various forms of neoplasms, early and differential diagnostics. The obtained data and results can be used in the work of ultrasonic diagnostics specialists, radiologists, in the clinical practice of oncologists, mammologists, obstetricians-gynecologists, endocrinologists, and gastroenterologists.

Key words: contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination, CEUS, ultrasound contrast agent, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of contrasting.
