Abstract: OBJECTIVE To assess by use of various diagnostic imaging modalities acute changes in livers of healthy dogs after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and determine the capability of each imaging modality to monitor ablation lesion changes. ANIMALS 6 healthy Beagles. PROCEDURES 12 ablation lesions were created in the liver of the dogs (2 lesions/dog). Ablation lesions were evaluated by use of conventional ultrasonography, strain elastography, and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography immediately after (time 0), 30 to 60 … Show more

“…Occasional use of RFA has been reported also for surgical procedures such as resection of the soft palate in dogs (Palierne et al 2018). Recent studies report the evaluation of RFA ablation zones by different imaging techniques in experimental settings in healthy dogs (Lee et al 2018; Moon et al, 2017).…”

“…Ultrasound allows to determine the size of the tumour and to monitor the size of the induced ablation zone during the procedure itself. A recent report highlights that ultrasonographic imaging measurements of RFA‐induced ablation zones underestimate their size however (Moon et al., 2017). Moreover, it is difficult to assess the 3 dimensional (3D) geometry of the ablation zone in real‐time using ultrasound, as it provides 2 dimensional (2D) images.…”

“…MWA can be performed under CT guidance for exact positioning of the antenna in the target tissue with immediate post-ablation contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) to ensure a sufficient ablation of the target tissue. Although CECT has proven to be able to visualize ablation margins after thermoablation in studies 35 , a risk of local recurrence remains, even if a tumor appears to be fully ablated. This is due to the fact that only the inner parts of the ablated target area become fully necrotic, while vital tissue may persist in the outer zone, as shown by pathologic and histologic analyses 6–9 .…”
