Immediate post-interventional contrast-enhanced computed tomography overestimates hepatic microwave ablation – an in vivo animal study

Objectives Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) is used to monitor technical success immediately after hepatic microwave ablation (MWA). However, it remains unclear, if CECT shows the exact extend of the thermal destruction zone, or if tissue changes such as peri-lesionary edema are depicted...
