• Perinodular vascularity, rather than intranodular vascularity was an independent predictor of regrowth, both before and after the RFA procedure. • A high enhancement ring on preablation contrast-enhanced ultrasound was an independent predictor of regrowth. • Pre- and postablation nomograms might facilitate clinical decision-making before RFA and follow-up management after RFA.
