CT- and MR-Guided Interventions in Radiology

Abstract

Due to the increasing utilization of cross-sectional imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and ultrasound (US), cysts, in particular those of the abdominal organs like kidneys, liver, and spleen, are frequently diagnosed. Therapeutic consequences can only be driven if the cysts become symptomatic because of their position, increasing size, hemorrhage, or superinfection. The surgical excision, resection, or fenestration of the cyst by laparotomy or laparoscopic deroofing, with widest possible excision of the wall and coagulation, show high success rates and were regarded to be the standard procedure for a long time. However, during the last two decades, following the first description by Bean (1981), the percutaneous interventional therapy has gained more and more importance as a safe and low invasive procedure.
