The present study investigated the potential utility of contrast-enhanced abdominal ultrasonography (CEUS), using Sonazoid™, in colorectal cancer (CRC). Three patients were subjected to CEUS with Sonazoid™. Surgical specimens were immunostained for CD31. Numbers of blood vessels positive for CD31 were analyzed in each of five fields at ×400 magnification and averaged to determine blood vessel density. Blood vessel density was compared between non-tumorous and tumorous areas. Prior to the administration of Sonazoid™, CRC was illustrated as irregular-shaped wall thickening. One minute after the administration of Sonazoid™, the majority of the thickened wall was enhanced, while some parts of the thickened wall remained unenhanced. Blood vessel densities of non-tumorous and tumorous areas in patient two were 25.2±2.5 and 5.2±1.1 (P
