This new methodology of standardization was validated and its simplicity could facilitate the development of multicenter studies in DCE-US.

The growing interest in DCE-US clinical studies to use quantitative imaging parameters to assess therapeutic effects raises the problem of standardization of the ultrasound scanner to conserve the same dynamics and parameter thresholds in each clinical center. The aim of this study is to validate an original and fast method to establish the standardization in contrast mode of two different ultrasound scanners using settings initially defined for a French multicenter study.
