Abstract

Autonomously functioning thyroid nodules (AFTN) are a common cause of hyperthyroid symptoms. While hemithyroidectomy or radioactive iodine ablation have historically been used to treat AFTNs, percutaneous thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is emerging as a promising option for outpatient therapy. The technique is compared to medical therapy, radioactive iodine therapy, and surgery, with an emphasis on technical differences in the ablation procedure for AFTN vs other benign thyroid nodules.

甲状腺RFA在治疗自主功能甲状腺结节中的作用

自主功能甲状腺结节(AFTN)是甲状腺功能亢进症状的常见原因。虽然甲状腺切除术或放射性碘消融术历来用于治疗aftn，但经皮甲状腺射频消融术(RFA)正在成为门诊治疗的一种有希望的选择。将该技术与药物治疗、放射性碘治疗和手术进行比较，重点介绍AFTN与其他良性甲状腺结节消融手术的技术差异。

期刊介绍： Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
