Figure 3

Ultrasound scans in a 59-year-old male with well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). (a) Greyscale sonography image showing a hypo-echoic nodule with a diameter of 3.2 cm. (b) Arterial phase scan at 19 s showing markedly hypervascular nodule (arrows). (c) Portal phase scan at 90 s showing homogeneous persistent positive enhancement of nodule (arrows) compared with parenchyma. (d) Late phase scan at 210 s showing hypo-enhancement of nodule (arrows). (e) Output time–intensity curves of HCC (in green) and reference (in yellow) showing that washout time (WT) in the well-differentiated HCC was long (WT=40 s).
