Objective: Contrast‐enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is regarded as the gold
standard for assessing the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) against hepatocellular …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of a microbubble contrast
agent (SonoVue; Bracco SpA, Milan, Italy) on the spread of gas generated by heating during …

We have previously reported that the combination therapy of percutaneous ethanol injection
and radiofrequency ablation (PEI-RFA) was more effective than RFA alone to induce wider …

PURPOSE: To determine the factors that are related to local recurrence after
Radiofrequency thermal ablation (RFTA) of hepatic tumors. MATERIALS AND METHODS …

PURPOSE: This study was designed to evaluate whether a feasibility scoring system for
planning sonography is a reliable predictor of a safe and complete ablation in …

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of heat sink on the recurrence of
hepatic malignant tumors< 3 cm after percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Subjects …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our aim was to investigate whether magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) with ferucarbotran administered prior to radiofrequency ablation could …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to assess whether percutaneous radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a safe procedure in patients with …

Purpose To evaluate the frequency, risk factors, and clinical significance of aggressive
intrasegmental recurrence (AIR) found after radiofrequency (RF) ablation for hepatocellular …
