Imaging and image-guided therapy of complications after pancreatectomy Imaging after pancreatectomy Computed tomography (CT) is the most common imaging modality for evaluation of the pancreas after surgery. Complications that can be detected on CT include anastomotic leak, abscess, fistula, and…
Summary of Key Points Since the initial identification of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) as the prototypical thermal ablation technique, it has been joined by microwave ablation, cryoablation, and, more recently, irreversible electroporation as potential options for tumor ablation. Factors that influence…

Key points Percutaneous image-guided tumor ablation uses the cytotoxic properties of thermal energy or electric field strength to cause cell death. The thermal ablative effect due to coagulation necrosis is generated by the Radiofrequency probe, which acts as the cathode…
