High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) safely enabled precise microwave ablation of a lung tumor in a young patient. This minimally invasive technique offers a promising alternative to surgery for pediatric solid tumors.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Interventional Radiology
- Pediatric Oncology
Background:
- Minimally invasive image-guided procedures offer alternatives to surgical resection for solid tumors.
- Organ motion, primarily due to respiration, complicates accurate tumor targeting and treatment delivery.
- In-circuit high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) is increasingly used to minimize respiratory motion during procedures.
