Imaging appearance of treated hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 4 Perfusion alteration after radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma. A: Arterial phase computed tomography (CT) obtained 1 mo after treatment shows ablated zone (dotted arrow) and a semilunar enhancing area (solid arrow) medial and anterior to ablated zone; B: Delayed phase CT shows persistent enhancement of the semilunar area (solid arrow), suggesting that the arterial enhancement is due to perfusion alteration rather than residual tumor.
