Figure 2 36-year-old female. A: 4.0 cm hypoechoic lesion in segment 8 found in B-Mode sonography; B: Contrast-enhanced sonography with SonoVue® showed a peripheral enhancement with nodular contrast accumulations 14 s after injection; C: Slow progression of the enhancement from the periphery towards the center of the lesion, with a broader peripheral enhancement zone seen at 20 s; D: After 1.5 min, the lesion is completely filled with contrast and appears hyperenhanced compared to the surrounding normal liver tissue. The enhancement pattern is typical for a hemangioma.
