Abstract

CTs or MRIs are essential for preablative therapy planning of hepatic tumors to identify accurate size, number, and location of tumors. Tumors larger than 5 cm and located near the major branches of the portal vein and hepatic vein have a higher potential for incomplete ablation. Postablative imaging studies are needed to determine if the entire tumors are included in the treatment zone to minimize the risk of local tumor recurrences. Complications of ablative therapy can be identified on post-treatment imaging studies.
