Assessment of the cryoablation margin using MRI–CT fusion imaging in hepatic malignancies
Clinical Radiology May 11, 2019
Chen C, et al. - For the evaluation of the ablative margin in hepatic malignancies after cryoablation, researchers described the feasibility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-computed tomography (CT) fusion imaging. In this retrospective study, they analyzed 35 subjects with 47 liver tumors treated with CT-guided cryoablation. In 46 of 47 lesions, MRI-CT fusion imaging was successful. Local tumor progression was been detected in 67.4% of cases. The authors concluded that, for evaluating cryoablation minimal ablation margin, pre-ablation MRI and intraoperative CT fusion imaging in hepatic malignancies is feasible and valuable.
