Figure 6. Intraprocedural CEUS to confirm adequacy of the ablation zone in a 64-year-old man with cirrhosis. Images acquired prior to ablation show a 3.5 cm LR-5 HCC in the right hepatic lobe with APHE (arrows in A) and washout which is late and mild (arrows in B). CEUS was performed intraprocedurally immediately post ablation, showing the nonenhancing ablation zone (arrows in C) and confirming complete coverage of the mass by the ablation.
