RadiofrequencyAblationPurpose To demonstrate our experience in percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as a minimally invasive therapy for patients with osteoid osteoma. Patients and methods We will highlight cases of osteoid osteoma treated by minimally invasive therapy (RFA) and the role of image ...
Radiofrequency ablation uses radio waves to heat the tumor and destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy uses x-rays to kill or shrink cancer cells. The two types of radiation therapy are external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy. Chemotherapy is medicine to kill cancer cells and stop it ...
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the liver is a technique used to treat liver cancer. RFA uses imagine procedures like CT scan, ultrasound, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to guide the RFA probe into the area of the tumor. There are different ways to perform radiofrequency ablation. Sid...
Radiofrequency ablation:High-energy radio waves are used to heat the tumor. Then electric current is passed through a probe to destroy your cancer cells. This is an option if you have small tumors that are near the outer edge of your lungs. ...
Once the problem area is identified, the abnormal heart tissue is destroyed using either radiofrequency ablation (extreme heat) orcryoablation(extreme cold). The resulting scar tissue blocks the abnormal electrical signals and restores a normal heartbeat. ...
benefits, risks and possible side effects. Ask your doctor for further information on any recommended procedure. Theare transient side effects that may be expected after treatment with Barrx™ radiofrequency ablation system: chest pain, difficulty swallowing, painful swallowing, throat pain and/or ...
TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED PULSED RF ABLATION Described embodiments include a system that includes a radiofrequency-current (RF-current) generator and a processor. The processor is configured to cause the RF-current generator to generate a plurality of pulses of RF current for appli... Z Israel,G Assa...
The electrodes deliver radiofrequency energy to destroy the area of abnormal heart tissue where atrial fluttering occurs. A pacemaker is sometimes put in place to regulate the heart rate in the future. Ablation for atrial flutter has an estimated 90-percent success rate. Giving up medication is...
This option is often recommended when the growths are causing pain or fullness in your abdomen or during sexual intercourse, as well as infertility, anemia and certain other symptoms. But it’s not usually recommended for large fibroids. Radiofrequency ablation This process uses radio waves to cr...
