Abstract:
High-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) can reduce organ movement that otherwise complicates percutaneous image-guided ablation (IGA) procedures. This study describes feasibility and safety of the technique in routine use. We describe our method for the use of HFJV and present 169 consecutive cases, including IGA of tumors of the lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. Intended oncological treatment was delivered in all cases and HFJV used for the duration of treatment in all except one case. We describe the characteristics of patients, procedures, and adverse events. It is feasible to use HFJV as the routine standard of care for IGA.

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...

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
