Figure 2. Contrast-enhanced phase inversion ultrasound of a patient with hepatocellular adenoma (arrows). (a) Contrast-enhanced phase inversion ultrasound scanning revealed only arterial phase enhancement for 10 s (1020 s) after administration of SonoVue®. (b) At the end of the arterial phase (22 s after administration of SonoVue®) a slightly hypoechoic liver tumour was detected by contrast-enhanced phase inversion ultrasound and no portal venous sinusoidal enhancement was observed.
