## Abstract ## __Background.__ Contrastโenhanced CT is regarded as the gold standard for monitoring radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Recently, 3โdimensional volume data from CT have been used to create crossโsectional multiplanar reconstruction images. Using this te
## Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the histopathologic grades of hepatocellular carcinomas (hccs) on the basis of the presence of kupffer cells, using color doppler sonography with the liver-specific microbubble contrast agent levovist. ## Methods: Color doppler sonograms generate
