Journal ArticleDOI

Image-guided Tumor Ablation: Standardization of Terminology and Reporting Criteria—A 10-Year Update

TL;DR: This updated consensus document provides a framework that will facilitate the clearest communication among investigators regarding ablative technologies and improve the precision of communications in this field, leading to more accurate comparison of technologies and results, and ultimately to improved patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Local staging of pancreatic cancer: criteria for unresectability of major vessels as revealed by pancreatic-phase, thin-section helical CT.

TL;DR: A grading system for tumor involvement of the major vessels in patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma can be based on the degree of circumferential contiguity of tumor to vessel.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of vessel size on creation of hepatic radiofrequency lesions in pigs: assessment of the "heat sink" effect.

TL;DR: There appears to be a narrow transition zone for hepatic vessels at 2-4 mm, beyond which the heat sink effect was seen consistently and substantial vascular injury was rare.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of large peritumoral vessels on outcome of radiofrequency ablation of liver tumors.

TL;DR: Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that presence or absence of a large peritumoral vessel is an independent, and the dominant, predictor of treatment outcome of incomplete tumor destruction by RF ablation.
