Interactive Volumetry Of Liver Ablation Zones
Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive technique that destroys cancer cells by heat. The heat results from focusing energy in the radiofrequency spectrum through a needle. Amongst others, this can enable the treatment of patients who are not eligible for an open surgery. However, the possibility of recurrent liver cancer due to incomplete ablation of the tumor makes ...
متن کاملQuantitative radiology: automated CT liver volumetry compared with interactive volumetry and manual volumetry.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate automated CT volumetry in the assessment of living-donor livers for transplant and to compare this technique with software-aided interactive volumetry and manual volumetry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Hepatic CT scans of 18 consecutively registered prospective liver donors were obtained under a liver transplant protocol. Automated liver volumetry ...
متن کاملExcimer ablation design and elliptical transition zones.
PURPOSE To describe the rationale behind elliptical and other transition designs used with the excimer laser. SETTING Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon, USA. METHODS Ablation zone designs were analyzed for the number of transition points for myopia and hyperopia. The advantages and disadvantages of elliptical transition zones are demonstrated graphical...
متن کاملFluid preinjection for microwave ablation in an ex vivo bovine liver model assessed with volumetry in an open MRI system.
PURPOSE We aimed to detect possible differences in microwave ablation (MWA) volumes after different fluid preinjections using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS MWA volumes were created in 50 cuboid ex vivo bovine liver specimens (five series: control [no injection], 10 mL water, 10 mL 0.9% NaCl, 10 mL 6% NaCl, and 10 mL 12% NaCl preinjections; n=10 for each series). The ...
متن کاملClinical implication of hepatic volumetry for living donor liver transplantation
Liver transplantation is indicated for primary and salvage treatment of hepatic malignancies including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma, end-stage liver diseases, acute liver failure, and congenital anatomical and metabolic liver diseases such as biliary atresia, Wilson’s disease and hemochromatosis. Living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) is more wi...
