Differentiation of Benign Periablational Enhancement from Residual Tumor Following Radio-Frequency Ablation Using Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasonography in a Rat Subcutaneous Colon Cancer Model
24 January 2012
Hanping Wu, Ravi B. Patel, Yuanyi Zheng, Luis Solorio, Tianyi M. Krupka, Nicholas P. Ziats, John R. Haaga, Agata A. Exner
Abstract: Benign periablational enhancement (BPE) response to thermal injury is a barrier to early detection of residual tumor in contrast enhanced imaging after radio-frequency (RF) ablation. The obj...
