Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (arterial infusion) has been clinically established as a qualitative diagnosis imaging tool for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) was performed after of Albunex (sonicated serum albumin) or Carbon Dioxide (CO2) microbubble by hand, into the hepatic artery as a diagnostic modality for the early HCC. Here, we discussed the diagnosis of the early HCC by CEUS using Albunex as a contrast medium. Briefly, a diagnosis of the early HCC was made CEUS examination of the hemodynamics of the arteries showed a hypovascular pattern. And tumor size was under 20 mm in diameter, the histopathologic examination was essential to reach a final diagnosis, well-differentiated HCC.
超声造影（动脉灌注）已在临床上确立为肝细胞癌（HCC）的定性诊断成像工具。通过手动将Albunex（超声处理的血清白蛋白）或二氧化碳（CO2）微泡注入肝动脉后进行超声造影（CEUS），作为早期HCC的诊断方法。在此，我们讨论了以Albunex作为造影剂通过CEUS诊断早期HCC。简要地说，早期HCC的诊断是通过CEUS检查动脉血流动力学显示为低血供模式而做出的。并且肿瘤直径小于20毫米，组织病理学检查对于最终诊断高分化HCC至关重要。
