How Image-Guided Ablation (RFA/MWA) is performed
Under image guidance, plan the puncture path. A common practice is to percutaneously place a radiofrequency electrode or microwave antenna to thermally ablate the tumor and safety margin, and ablation can be overlapped as needed. The procedure is performed under sedation or general anesthesia. Short-term postoperative observation, re-examination of imaging and laboratory tests to assess local control and complications. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
