Abstract
Two cases are presented in which spectral CT calcium suppression was perceived as beneficial for percutaneous cryoablation of bone tumors. Cases include cryoablation of a lytic sacral/iliac bone metastasis and cryoablation of recurrent pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) at the posterior aspect of the right knee. Calcium suppression images have a potential role in the visualization of bone lesions for treatment planning and the visualization of ice ball growth for treatment monitoring.
