In this episode of Imaging Today, Dr. Emanuel Kanal is joined by Dr. Tobias Kummer for a practical discussion of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in emergency and trauma care. The conversation explains how microbubble contrast agents enhance the dynamic visualization of perfusion and active bleeding, with attention to applications in solid-organ injury, pediatric trauma, soft-tissue hematomas, cardiac imaging, and selected lung and abdominal conditions.

Dr. Teresa Chapman joins host Dr. Emanuel Kanal for a wide-ranging conversation about what makes pediatric MR imaging its own specialty. As Dr. Chapman puts it, children really aren’t just little adults — and that simple truth shapes everything from how young patients are kept still to how protocols are designed. Along the way, she and Dr. Kanal explore when sedation is needed and how teams are working to use less of it, the evolving story of gadolinium safety and why the newest macrocyclic agents like gadopiclinol are generating so much excitement, and the growing evidence that many studies can be done faster and even without contrast.

Dr. Joshua Crawford, PharmD, Assistant Director of Clinical Pharmacy Services for Bon Secours Mercy Health, joins host Dr. Emanuel Kanal to discuss the historically limited role of pharmacy in radiology and how that is changing. The conversation covers what a clinical pharmacist does, the causes and lessons of the recent contrast agent shortages — from the COVID-era China manufacturing disruption to the 2025 allocation model — and practical strategies for weathering future disruptions, including when to bank product and how to select a backup agent in advance.
