Eligibility criteria:
Inclusion Criteria: Participants may be included in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:

Participant has at least 1 untreated focal liver lesions (FLL) but =<8 lesions (excluding cysts) <10 centimeter (cm) in diameter confirmed in a diagnostic examination performed in the past month (or past 3 months if lesion is benign) that can be visualised by non- contrast-enhanced (CE) ultrasound
Participant has had a dynamic CE-computed tomography (CE-CT) or CE-magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI) examination within the past month or is scheduled to have one in the month following inclusion in the study and the original images (or copies thereof) are/will be available. (This inclusion criterion does not apply for participants enrolled as training cases. Investigators will be asked to submit standard of truth/ reference diagnosis for training cases whenever possible, since the cases may be used for training and testing the blinded readers prior to the blinded read)

Participant is able and willing to comply with study procedures and will give their signed and dated informed consent
The participant, if female, is either surgically sterile (has had a documented bilateral oophorectomy and/or documented hysterectomy), postmenopausal (cessation of menses for more than 1 year), or non-lactating, or if of childbearing potential the results of a serum or urine human chorionic gonadotropin pregnancy test, performed on the day of investigational medicinal product (IMP) administration (with the result known before IMP administration), are negative

The participant is considered to be unsuitable to participate in the study by the investigator
The participant is known to have a right-to-left shunt, severe pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery pressure >90 millimeter of mercury (mmHg) or uncontrolled systemic hypertension
The participant has a recent acute coronary syndrome or clinically unstable ischaemic cardiac disease, including: evolving or ongoing myocardial infarction, typical angina at rest within the last 7 days, significant worsening of cardiac symptoms within the last 7 days, recent coronary artery intervention or other factors suggesting clinical instability (e.g., recent deterioration of electrocardiogram [ECG], laboratory or clinical findings), acute cardiac failure, Class III/IV cardiac failure, or severe rhythm disorders
The participant has adult respiratory distress syndrome, severe emphysema, pulmonary vasculitis, or a history of pulmonary emboli
The participant has known thrombosis within the liver, portal, or mesenteric veins
