Dynamic Three-Dimensional Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound to Predict Therapeutic Response of Radiofrequency Ablation in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Preliminary Findings

<div>Complete response after RFA. B mode ultrasound image in a 65-year-old man showed a 25 mm sized inhomogeneous hypoechoic lesion in the right hepatic lobe (a). 2D-CEUS showed the nonenhanced necrotic area was larger than the target lesion (b). The contour of the ablative zone was depicted manually and its volume was 5.88ml (c). “Inversion” mode showed the nonenhanced area on 3D-CEUS image (d).</div>
