Image-Guided Spine Tumor Ablation: Where Do We Stand?

Anderanik Tomasian, Jack W. Jennings

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Minimally invasive percutaneous spine thermal ablation technologies, often combined with vertebral augmentation, have proven safe and effective in management of selected patients with spinal metastases. Special attention to procedure techniques including choice of ablation modality, thermal protection measures, adequacy of treatment, and post-ablation imaging is essential for improved patient outcomes.
