LASER ablationTHYROID nodulesUNIVERSITY hospitalsThis article, published in the Arab Journal of Interventional Radiology, discusses the use of Percutaneous Laser Ablation (PLA) as a treatment for symptomatic solid benign thyroid nodules. The study involved 14 female patients who underwent...
Benign thyroid noduleimage-guided ablationradiofrequency ablationlaser ablationBackground: Thermal ablation is a minimally invasive technique that is gradually acknowledged as an effective alternative to surgery to treat thyroid nodules. Two main techniques have been described: radiofrequency (RFA) and ...
Operator's skills could be crucial in determining the extent of nodule volume reduction regardless of the used technique. 展开 关键词: Benign thyroid nodule percutaneous thermal ablation minimally invasive treatments laser ablation radiofrequency ablation ...
The authors concluded that short-term follow-up in this series suggested that laser ablation AHE may be associated with a lower rate of VFD than has been reported for open AHE; these findings suggested that incorporating optic radiation mapping through DTI may pre-operatively help to minimize the...
Laser ablation for spongiform thyroid nodules: identifying baseline nodule volume and energy to be delivered for successful treatmentThyroidNodulesLaser ablationSpongiform nodulesBackground: Laser ablation (LA) is a minimally invasive treatment. It has been widely used since the early 2000s to induce ...
Due to these considerations, a few image-guided minimally invasive procedures have been proposed for an office-based treatment of nodules that even if benign thyroid nodules are symptomatic or cause cosmetic concern. Among these techniques, US-guided laser thermal ablation (LA) is the most ...
nodulethermalablationultrasoundLaser ablation (LA) is used as therapeutic modality for reducing the volume of large benign thyroid nodules. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the efficacy of LA therapy in patients with benign non-functioning thyroid nodules in a 4-year follow-up ...
thyroid noduleBackground: No direct prospective studies comparing laser ablation (LA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for debulking benign non-functioning thyroid nodules (BNTNs) exist. We aimed at comparing the efficacy and safety of both techniques in patients with solid or predominantly solid ...
However, studies that have appeared in literature since the introduction of ultrasound-guided laser photocoagulation for the treatment of benign thyroid nodules report contradictory data concerning the energy required for nodule ablation. The aim of the present trial was to evaluate retrospectively the ...
