Relationship between presence of corona enhancement in late phase in HA-CEUS and tumour response after TACE. A, Preoperative HA-CEUS revealed a hyperenhanced HCC lesion located in segment 8 (indicated by the arrow). B, Postoperative HA-CEUS showed corona enhancement in the late enhancing phase. C, Postoperative abdominal contrast-enhanced MRI showed a small amount of intratumoural enhancement and peritumoural corona enhancement in portal phase, and the tumour response was defined as partial remission (indicated by the arrow). TACE = transarterial chemoembolization, HCC = hepatocellular carcinoma; CEUS = contrast-enhanced ultrasound; HA-CEUS = hepatic artery contrast-enhanced ultrasound
