Percutaneous US-guided LA for HCC that is located adjacent to the right branch of the portal vein is shown. a An arterial-phase axial MRI shows a subcapsular hyper-enhanced lesion adjacent to the right branch of the portal vein (arrowhead). b In the arterial phase of contrast enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) (27 s), the hypo-echoic lesion is hyper-enhanced with a diameter of 1.5 cm. c The tip of the laser fibre (yellow arrowhead) is placed to the proximal edge of the target lesion (white arrowhead). d A portal-phase axial CT after US-LA shows that the treated area is non-enhanced. The morphology of the nearby portal vein is intact with normally filled agents (arrowhead)
