| Core Tip |
One of the major factors that impact the therapeutic effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is local tumor progression (LTP), which is primarily attributed to insufficient ablative margins (AMs). Traditional image evaluation methods, including contrast-enhanced ultrasound and side-by-side comparison with computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, cannot quantitatively determine the AM in three dimensions. Our study was the first to report the feasibility of MRI-MRI image fusion using a commercial ultrasound workstation to assess the RFA AM for HCC. The results demonstrated that this method specifically describes the direction of the insufficient ablative zone and would be helpful for the early detection of LTP. |
