Aim:
Evaluation of osteoid osteoma (OO) perfusion characteristics pre and post microwave ablation (MWA) using dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) with clinical follow-up.
Materials And Methods:
Patients with OO underwent T1-weighted 3D DCE-MRI at 3.0T pre and post MWA. Signal intensity (SI) and perfusion of lesions was measured. Patients answered a questionnaire for clinical follow-up.
Results:
A total of 24 patients were included (mean age of 28 years; nine females); 21 DCE-MRI datasets were of sufficient quality for analysis. The mean SI of lesions, plasma flow, volume of distribution and pain level all decreased statistically significantly after ablation.
Conclusion:
Quantitative MRI-perfusion analysis allows for objective treatment evaluation after MWA of OO, plasma flow and volume of distribution seem to be reliable indicators for successful thermoablation. MWA is an effective treatment option for OO with a low risk profile and significant pain reduction after treatment.

01:30Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
