Computed tomography findings after radiofrequency ablation in locally advanced pancreatic cancer

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to provide a systematic evaluation of the computed tomography(CT) findings after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in locally advanced pancreatic cancer(LAPC). Methods: Eighteen patients with intra-operative RFA-treated LAPC were included in a prospective case series. All CT-scans performed prior to RFA and 1 week and 3 months of post-RFA, according to standard regimen, were assessed by two radiologists in consensus, using standardized radiological scoring lists. Results: 51 CT-scans were assessed. One week after RFA, the ablation zone was visible in all patie... Mehr ...
