Virtual Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the last few years, radiofrequency ablation has become one of the most promising techniques to treat liver tumors. But radiologists have to face the difficulty of planning their treatment while only relying on 2D slices. We present here a realistic radiofrequency ablation simulation tool, coupled with a 3D reconstruction and visualization project. They help radiologists to have a better visualization of patients anatomic structures and pathologies, and allow them to easily find an adequate treatment.

Correction to: Efficacy of Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients with Metastatic Liver Tumors from Breast Carcinoma
In the article published in Volume 27, issue 158, 2017, the Results section in English Abstract have been published incorrectly. The correct Results is given below: Results: The most frequent sizes of mass were 2-4 cm (n=33, 54%) and 4-5 cm (n=23, 38%). Among the patients, 35 (67.3%) had one tumor before, in 11.5% renew tumor happened, and 65.4% had one tumor after treatment. Liver tum...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Brightness Changes in Ultrasound Images due to Temperature Variations in Liver Tissue during Radiofrequency Ablation
Introduction: one of the minimally invasive methods of treatmenting liver malignancies is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) which can be applied to primary or secondary tumors. Nevertheless, the disease recurrence is probable after RFA application partially due to the inadequate capability of temperature monitoring of the target tissue and visualizing the thermal damage. The goal of this work was t...

Radiofrequency ablation has been applied to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, with favorable therapeutic outcomes. Nevertheless, practitioners have approached radiofrequency ablation with some reluctance due to the difficulty of identifying isoechoic tumors and recurrent tumors. The aim of the present study is to investigate the efficacy of Real-time Virtual Sonography to treat hepatocellular car...

For radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors, evaluation of vascular architecture, post-RFA necrosis prediction, and the choice of a suitable needle placement strategy using conventional radiological techniques remain difficult. In an attempt to enhance the safety of RFA, a 3D simulator, treatment planning, and training tool, that simulates the insertion of the needle, the necrosis of the ...

AIM To explore acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in assessing residual tumors of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radiofrequency ablation (RFA). MATERIALS AND METHODS There were 83 HCC lesions among 72 patients. All patients were examined with ARFI, contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and CT or MRI. Tumor brightness on virtual touch tissue imaging (VTI) and shear wave ...
