Abstract

Percutaneous liver ablation has become a cornerstone of the recently developed subspecialty of radiology - that is, interventional oncology. Thermal ablation technology has evolved rapidly during the past decades, with substantial technical and procedural improvements that can help obtain better clinical outcomes and safety profiles. Due to the widespread use of percutaneous ablation, a comprehensive review of the methodologic and technical considerations seems to be mandatory.
