Radiofrequency thermal ablation of a splenic metastasis.
Effective local ablation of large tumors with radiofrequency has been made possible by recent advancements. Tumor ablation with radiofrequency has been described mainly in the liver, but also recently in the kidney, adrenal gland, lung, and breast. A rapidly growing splenic metastasis from renal cell carcinoma was effectively treated percutaneously, with US guidance. Focal splenic disease may n...
متن کاملRole of Interventional Radiology in Endocrine Diseases-
Nowadays, interventional procedures have been opened new horizons in the medicine. They constitute wide spectrum procedures from diagnosis to treatment in different medical disciplines.

متن کاملFeasibility of real-time MRI with a novel carbon catheter for interventional electrophysiology.
BACKGROUND Cardiac MRI offers 3D real-time imaging with unsurpassed soft tissue contrast without x-ray exposure. To minimize safety concerns and imaging artifacts in MR-guided interventional electrophysiology (EP), we aimed at developing a setup including catheters for ablation therapy based on carbon technology. METHODS AND RESULTS The setup, including a steerable carbon catheter, was tested...

Lewin Case Western Reserve University/University Hospitals, Dept. of Radiology, Cleveland, OH, United States Synopsis: The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of MRI to control radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of pulmonary tissue in a rabbit model. Puncture and lung RFA were performed in 5 New Zealand White rabbits under MR image control...
متن کاملExposure to cell phone radiofrequency changes corticotrophin hormone levels and histology of the brain and adrenal glands in male Wistar rat
Objective(s): Nowadays, the electromagnetic field-emitting devices are used routinely in our lives. Controversial reports exist concerning the effects of mobile radiofrequency (RF) on different parts of the body, especially stress hormones. The main goal of the present work was to study the long-term effects of mobile RF900 MHz exposure with special focus on the adrenal gland pathophysiology an...
