From: Can contrast-enhanced ultrasound differentiate the type of hepatic echinococcosis: cystic echinococcosis or alveolar echinococcosis?

Fig. 2

The CEUS ultrasonogram of CE and AE. a A CE lesion showed enhancing circumscribed boundary and non-enhancement in the arterial phase (white arrow), indicating that the lesion may not invade the parenchyma of the surrounding normal liver. b An AE lesion showed enhancing ill-defined boundary and hyper-enhancement in the arterial phase, whose enhancement pattern was the circular ring of enhancement with non-enhancement areas within the lesion (white arrow), suggesting that there may be inflammatory reaction zones around the lesion and the lesion may contain marginal microvessels with more abundant blood supply.
