Real-time US-CT/MR fusion imaging for percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatocellular carcinoma
SJ Ahn, JM Lee, DH Lee, SM Lee, JH Yoon, YJ Kim… - Journal of …, 2017 - Elsevier
Background & Aims Although ultrasonography (US) guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is
a commonly used treatment option for early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), inconspicuous
tumors on US limits its feasibility. Thus, we prospectively determined whether real-time US-
CT/MR fusion imaging can improve the technical feasibility of RFA compared with B-mode
US, and help predict local tumor progression after RFA in patients with HCC. Methods A total
of 216 patients with 243 HCCs⩽ 5 cm referred for RFA were prospectively enrolled. Prior to …
