Radiofrequency Ablation in Bone Metastases

Abstract

The radiologist has emerged as a consultant with increased interaction with patients. In fact, the interventional radiologist has assumed the role of the surgeon for many conditions; for example, minimally invasive therapy of bone metastases using radiofrequency techniques. Recent advances in imaging and interventional techniques have had an impact on medical diagnosis. Interventional imaging-based procedures include percutaneous biopsy, which has decreased the need for open surgical procedures. Due to the advent of system hardware and improvements in different technical systems and instruments, interventional radiology is now an upcoming special field in radiology.
