Purpose: 2D angiosonography and a 3D reconstruction of the vascularization of HCC are non invasive techniques able to study the macro micro vascularization of these tumours. Aim of our study is to understand if there are correlations between vascularization patterns of HCC and its histological grading Methods and Materials: 59 consecutive cirrhotic patients (M/F: 36/23; mean age: 72,58, Child A/B: 51/8; all HCV-positive) showed single nodule in 37 cases, double in 9 cases, triple in 3 cases and multiple in 10 cases. Diagnosis of HCC was made according to Barcelona EASL criteria: 51/59 patients (86.4%) were submi…
