3D ultrasound guidance for radiofrequency ablation in an anthropomorphic thyroid nodule phantom
Twenty-four in-house-developed thyroid nodule phantoms with 48 nodules were constructed. RFA was performed under 2D- or 3D-ultrasound guidance. 3D- and 2D ultrasound-guided RFAs showed comparable performance. Real-time dual-plane imaging may offer an improved overview of the ablation zone and aid electrode positioning. Dominant and non-dominant hand 3D-ultrasound-guided RFA outcomes were comparable.
