Abstract
While radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of symptomatic thyroid nodules has been gaining more widespread adoption in the United States, there is limited societal guidance for its role, and safe adoption. As many of the first adopters of thyroid nodule RFA developed their practices, they looked to the Korean Society of Interventional Radiology (KSIR), and European Thyroid Association (ETA) guidelines as a framework. Currently, efforts are underway from the American Thyroid Association to create updated guidelines for US providers. International consensus guidelines are also underway. Until these guidelines are available, a thorough understanding of the current available guidelines is key for interventionalists building a thyroid nodule RFA program.
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.
