3D margin assessment predicts local tumor progression after ablation of colorectal cancer liver metastases

CONCLUSION: Image registration software can measure ablation margins and detect MM under 5 mm intraoperatively, with significantly higher sensitivity than the 2D technique using landmarks on the post-ablation CECT. The identification of a margin under 5 mm is strongly associated with LTP.PMID:35848428 | DOI:10.1080/02656736.2022.2055795
