Abstract

Ultrasound alone can be used to guide treatment of many hepatic tumors. In the kidney, combination of ultrasound and CT is often used. Ultrasound may be used for needle placement, whereas CT is used to identify vital structures that may overlie the treated lesion, such as the ureter or adjacent bowel. Several different technical factors must be mastered before performing radiofrequency ablation in the abdomen to minimize complications and maximize results.
