is not FDA approved. The exceptions to this are if it is part of an FDA-approved clinical trial or it is using stem cells in a procedure that meets other criteria (e.g. being both homologous use and minimally manipulated–yeah I know these are jargon terms). 4) If you venture out...
Spinal metastases are indicative of progressive cancer which can lead to vertebral body fractures and spinal cord compression. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment is infrequently used in patients with refractory pain. The aim of this systematic review is to determine the clinical efficacy of RFA,...
Together, the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves make up a complex infor- mation-processing and control system that is called the central nervous system (CNS). To look inside the brain and the way it works and to understand how it func- tions is the dream of many researchers and ...

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is sometimes also used in the treatment of lung metastases. De Baère et al87 reported on 566 patients with 1037 small metastases. The procedure was performed in relatively small tumors with a median size of 15 mm and with 70% of tumors being 2 cm or less. ...
Contemporary SPECT software allows the direct derivation of voxel values and regions in terms of activity concentration or SUV as shown in this post Iodine-131 ablation SPECT/CT scan. Using this quantitative information (e.g., in the spinal lesion), it is possible to track the metabolic respons...
