Assessing predictive value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with doppler ultrasound for post-transcatheter arterial chemoembolization prognosis in hepatocellular carcinoma

Figure 1 Good prognosis and poor prognosis. A: Good prognosis. After contrast injection, the mass showed rapid and homogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase; B: Poor prognosis. A hyperechoic mass in the right lobe of the liver was examined using contrast-enhanced ultrasound. After contrast injection, the mass showed rapid and heterogeneous enhancement in the arterial phase, with peripheral ring-like and internal grid-like enhancements.

Figure 2 Receiver operating characteristic curve of contrast-enhanced ultrasound combined with Doppler ultrasound parameters in predicting the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization. AT: Arrival time; VPs: Peak systolic velocity; WT: Washout time.
