Early Identification of Residual Tumors following Microwave Ablation Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography in a Rabbit VX2 Liver Cancer Model

<div>Ultrasound image of VX2 liver tumor in rabbits. A gray-scale ultrasound (a) showed a single sphere-alike homogeneous hypoechoic nodular with a clear boundary (arrow). The CEUS (b) and time-intensity curve (c) of VX2 liver tumor showed a characteristic “rapid wash-in and wash-out” vascular perfusion pattern.</div>
