Value of MRI/CT Image Fusion for Targeting “invisible” Lesions in Stereotactic Microwave Ablation (SMWA) of Malignant Liver Lesions: A Retrospective Analysis
ConclusionSMWA with MRI/CT image fusion is an accurate and safe treatment option for patients with liver lesions not detectable on contrast-enhanced CT planning scans. MRI/CT image fusion may allow more patients with malignant liver lesions to benefit from local ablation treatment even if their lesions are not visible on CT planning examinations.
