Image-Guided Tumor Ablation
Current Status and Future Directions
Introduction
This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive resource for interventionalists who practice image-guided tumor ablation.
Evolution of Tumor Ablation
Over the past 25 years, tumor ablation has evolved from a novel technique initially focused on using ethanol and radiofrequency ablation to the clinical use of cryoablation, microwave ablation, and irreversible electroporation.
Coverage of Tumor Types and Technologies
Chapters cover the range of tumor types and use of ablation from lung tumors to immune system response. Emerging novel technologies such as focused ultrasound (histotripsy) and pulsed electrical fields introduced within the last year are also included with the intention of making the readers aware of the current clinical status and potentials for clinical use of these newer technologies.
Adjunctive Techniques
Expert authors also aim to address the application of adjunctive techniques, such as creation of artificial ascites, hydrodissection, pyeloperfusion which are increasingly used to perform ablations.
Target Audience
This is an ideal guide for all interventional radiologists performing ablations.
