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

<div>Histopathological examination image (HE staining). (a) Normal liver parenchyma. (b) VX2 tumor before microwave ablation shows the typical cancer cells with malignant morphology. (c, d) Residual tumor (RT) and inflammatory reaction band (IRB) coexist after ablation, IRB reveals blood vessel dilation, and necrosis zone (NZ) shows coagulation necrosis.</div>
