Contrast-enhanced sonography (CEUS) is a very important diagnostic imaging tool in clinical settings. However, it is associated with possible artifacts, such as B-mode US-related artifacts. Sufficient knowledge of US physics and these artifacts is indispensable to avoid the misinterpretation of CEUS images. This review aims to explain the basic physics of CEUS and the associated artifacts and to provide some examples to avoid them. This review includes problems related to the frame rate, scanning modes, and various artifacts encountered in daily CEUS examinations. Artifacts in CEUS can be divided into two groups: (1) B-mode US-related artifacts, which form the background of the CEUS image, and (2) artifacts that are specifically related to the CEUS method. The former includes refraction, reflection, reverberation (multiple reflections), attenuation, mirror image, and range-ambiguity artifacts. In the former case, the knowledge of B-mode US is sufficient to read the displayed artifactual image. Thus, in this group, the most useful artifact avoidance strategy is to use the reference B-mode image, which allows for a simultaneous comparison between the CEUS and B-mode images. In the latter case, CEUS-specific artifacts include microbubble destruction artifacts, prolonged heterogeneous accumulation artifacts, and CEUS-related posterior echo enhancement; these require an understanding of the mechanism of their appearance in CEUS images for correct image interpretation. Thus, in this group, the most useful artifact avoidance strategy is to confirm the phenomenon’s instability by changing the examination conditions, including the frequency, depth, and other parameters.
