CEUS Liver

ultrasound

Hypoechoic well-defined liver lesion in a subcapsular location in segment III. There is internal vascularity on color Doppler. 

After the injection of IV contrast (Definity - perflutren lipid microsphere) the lesion demonstrated typical centripetal contrast filling and no washout.
