Comparative Study of Shear Wave Velocities Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Technology in Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The Extent of Radiofrequency Ablation

摘要

Background/AimsThe purpose of this study was to assess the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) for predicting the extent of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by correlating the elasticity of HCC and peritumoral parenchyma (as measured by ARFI) with the extent of ablation determined by computed tomography (CT).
