Abstract
Hypo-vascularity, iso-vascularity, and hyper-vascularity were observed during the arterial phase of contrast-enhanced US in 50.0%, 17.3%, and 32.7% of the early HCCs, respectively. Contrast-enhanced US was more sensitive than contrast-enhanced CT for the detection of hyper-vascularity in early HCCs. Of note, early HCCs might not exhibit the early arterial enhancement that is generally considered to be a typical finding for HCCs.
