Impact of an immediate short waiting period on ultrasound-based ablative margin assessment following radiofrequency ablation for hepatocellular carcinoma
A short waiting period following RFA enhances the visibility of tumor margins and electrode tips on US, thereby increasing operator confidence in assessing ablative margin sufficiency. Implementing an immediate short waiting period may improve the accuracy of treatment.
