Objective To compare the healing pattern of osteoid osteomas on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after successful and unsuccessful thermocoagulation. Materials and methods Eighty-six patients were examined by CT and 18 patients by dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MRI before and after thermocoagulation for osteoid osteoma. Thermocoagulation was successful in 73% (63/86) and unsuccessful in 27% (23/86) of patients followed by CT. Thermocoagulation was successful in 72% (13/18) of patients followed by MRI. After treatment, the healing of the nidus on CT was evaluated using different healing patterns (complete ossification, minimal nidus rest, decreased size, unchanged size or thermonecrosis). On MRI the presence of reactive changes (joint effusion, "oedema-like" changes of bone marrow and soft tissue oedema) and the delay time (between arterial and nidus enhancement) were assessed and compared before and after thermocoagulation. Results Complete ossification or a minimal nidus rest was observed on CT in 58% (16/28) of treatment successes (with > 12 months follow-up), but not in treatment failures. "Oedema-like" changes of bone marrow and/or soft tissue oedema were seen on MR in all patients before thermocoagulation and in all treatment failures. However, residual "oedema-like" changes of bone marrow were also found in 69% (9/13) of treatment successes. An increased delay time was observed in 62% (8/13) of treatment successes and in 1/5 of treatment failures. Conclusion Complete, or almost complete, ossification of the treated nidus on CT correlated with successful treatment. Absence of this ossification pattern, however, did not correlate with treatment failure. CT could not be used to identify the activity of the nidus following treatment. The value of MR parameters to assess residual activity of the nidus was limited in this study.

“…Tumor sizes with larger volumetric dimensions (larger than 2-3 cm) are more difficult to treat using RFA [4]. Besides the extensive studies and applications for liver tumors, RFA has also been applied as cancer treatment modality in other organs such as kidney [5], bone [6], lungs [7], etc.…”

Abstract-Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an alternative cancer treatment that applies radiofrequency electric fields to biological tissues. The subsequent electrical currents induce Joule heating and inflict local thermal damage to the biological tissue. Previous clinical studies demonstrate the possibilities and benefits of applying RFA for the treatment of liver tumors. Currently, most clinical studies focus on monopolar RFA, consisting of a single electrode and a grounding pad, and its therapeutical outcome. This study however focuses on a bipolar configuration where two needle electrodes are inserted at a certain potential difference. In order to assess the temperature elevations in biological tissues, we have developed a computational model. A mathematical model based on Laplace's equation (with appropriate boundary conditions) is used to model the electromagnetic phenomena and is coupled to the bioheat transfer equation. This study compares a monopolar RFA with a bipolar configuration. We investigate the spatio-temporal temperature variations using detailed numerical three-dimensional finite element simulations in biological tissues, corresponding to liver tissue. Results show that the ablated region in between the two needles of the bipolar configuration can be enlarged compared to a monopolar RFA configuration.

“…The treatment for osteoid osteoma is surgical; nidus ablation must be complete to avoid the lesion recidivation (9-11) . Open resection (9-11) or CT-guided percutaneous procedures may be utilized in the lesion ablation (12)(13)(14) . In the present case, because of the anterior localization of the lesion in the vertebral body, the anterior retroperitoneal approach was adopted, with curettage and implantation of iliac bone autograft.…”
