Abstract
This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness and safety of ultrasound (US) fusion imaging-assisted microwave ablation (MWA) for focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in 13 patients. The patients included seven with large nodules (≥ 50 mm) and six with small nodules (< 50 mm). Both technical success and efficacy rates were 100%, with no local tumor progression (LTP) or major complications observed during follow-up. There was no significant difference in efficacy and safety between the large and small nodule groups. Additionally, 42.9% (3/7) of large nodules were treated with a single antenna for MWA.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
