Description

CT-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been adopted to treat primary unresectable lung tumors and metastatic lung tumors, recently. However, evaluation after RFA is always challenging because of the overlap and difference in imaging manifestations under certain modalities based on the complexity of post-surgical pathology. We reviewed the advance of various medical imaging methods (CT, PET/CT, MRI) in evaluating patients with lung tumors after RFA with purpose of suitable selection of modality in evaluation. (authors)
