Computed tomography-guided percutaneous microwave ablation therapy for lung cancer.
This study evaluated the clinical efficacy and value of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation therapy (PMAT) for lung cancer without surgical treatment. A total of 39 lesions in 29 patients with peripheral lung cancer were treated by CT-guided PMAT under local anesthesia. The microwave energy was 50-70 W at a frequency of 2450 MHz. The treatment was performed by using ...

video). Subsequently, the 4 PVs were electrically disconnected by circumferential radiofrequency application at the ostia (pink circles). There were no complications, the patient has had no recurrent AF, and her functional class improved (class I) during follow-up. More precise anatomic information about the LA and PVs obtained with new imaging techniques has contributed greatly to the advances...
متن کاملContrast enhancement of soft tissues in Computed Tomography images
Even though soft tissues are of primary interest to radiologists, they are represented using only 12.5% of the total number of gray levels in a typical DICOM format of a Computed Tomography (CT) scan. This poor distribution of gray levels reduces the overall contrast and the texture differences between individual organs, and poses a serious visualization problem since radiologists need clear vi...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Imaging in Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common supraventricular arrhythmia in adults and catheter ablation has increasingly become the therapy of choice for symptomatic, recurrent, drug refractory AF. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the utility of computed tomography (CT) imaging in guiding radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA), as well as highlight the additional radiographic and func...
