Abstract
Hypericin specifically enhanced the imaging contrast between necrotic and viable tissues and nonspecifically distinguished viable tumor from normal liver. Injection of hypericin shortly before ablation is more favorable than after ablation, because it circumvents difficulties with no-entry zones for hypericin and requires shorter intervals between ethanol ablation and imaging.
