The concept of sentinel lymph node (SLN) is not new to medical practice especially in breast cancer patients. CEU microbubble technique is an innovative technique which is applied with the same purpose. It utilizes ultrasound contrast agents based on the use of dispersion with sulfur hexafluoride gas. The aim of this review is to examine the clinical evidence on the role of intradermally injected microbubbles as a technique of preoperative identification of SLNs in patients with breast cancer.Citation
