Research reporting standards for image-guided ablation of bone and soft tissue tumors.

IMAGE-guided percutaneous methods of tumor destruction have proven effective for treatment of benign bone tumors as well as for palliation of metastases involving bone and soft tissue sites beyond the liver and lung. Treatment of primary bone tumors is largely restricted to benign tumors, most notably osteoid osteomas, as a single-modality treatment or as an adjunct to surgical resection (1– 4). More recently, image-guided
