The effect of uterine artery embolization (UAE) on symptomatic adenomyosis was evaluated in a systematic review and meta-analysis. Four groups were evaluated: short-term (< 12 months) pure adenomyosis, short-term adenomyosis with fibroids (combined adenomyosis), long-term (> 12 months) pure adenomyosis, and long-term combined adenomyosis. Improvement of symptoms occurred in 83.1% (872/1,049) of patients. Reported symptom reduction was 4.8% greater in the short-term combined group (P = .169) and 11.4% greater in the long-term combined group (P = .003). Uterine volume was reduced in all patients at 3 months. The effects of UAE on symptom improvement and uterine volume reduction in patients with adenomyosis are encouraging.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to assess the utility of a volume navigation technique (VNT) for ultrasound-guided biopsy of MRI-detected, but sonographically ambiguous or occult, breast lesions.
OBJECTIVE. The purposes of this article are to describe the indications, techniques, and results of arterially directed therapies and ablation and to review the imaging assessment of response and complications.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to identify the details of percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD) of pyogenic liver abscesses, the etiologic factors, and the management techniques that contribute to successful treatment.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the histopathologic diagnostic yield, sample size, procedural time, and dose-length product (DLP) for the biopsy of CT-occult lesions found at MRI or PET or both.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a biopsy center—a dedicated space with a dedicated ultrasound machine and technologist, staffed daily by a radiologist responsible for performing ultrasound-guided procedures only—on the rate of non-diagnostic or unsatisfactory thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA).
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and tolerability of transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) using polyethylene glycol (PEG) drug-elutable microspheres loaded with doxorubicin for treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe a handheld external compression device used to facilitate CT fluoroscopy–guided percutaneous interventions in the abdomen.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate predictors of reduction in ammonia levels by occlusion of portosystemic shunts (PSS) in patients with cirrhosis.
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of second uterine artery embolization (UAE) with those of first UAE for symptomatic uterine leiomyoma.
Purpose: To evaluate the effects of tumor complexity and technique on early and midterm oncologic efficacy and rate of complications for 100 consecutive biopsy-proved stage T1a renal cell carcinomas (RCCs) treated with percutaneous microwave ablation.
In patients with cirrhosis with refractory ascites, the 10-mm-diameter polytetrafluoroethylene-covered transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, compared with the 8-mm stent, was associated with a greater reduction in portosystemic gradient and lower need for paracentesis; the 10-mm stent was not associated with higher incidence and severity of hepatic encephalopathy or other unfavorable outcomes, including procedural-related mortality.
Volumetric enhancing tumor burden is an early treatment response biomarker and surrogate for survival in patients with multifocal, bilobar neuroendocrine liver metastases after the first transarterial chemoembolization.
Purpose: To compare segmental radioembolization with segmental chemoembolization for localized, unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) not amenable to ablation.
Purpose: To assess feasibility, safety, and preliminary efficacy of an irradiation portal vein stent for portal vein tumor thrombosis (PVTT) in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
