Abstract

Because of recent advances in energy device technology, ablation has become popular worldwide. It is less invasive and provides faster postoperative recovery compared to surgery, and therefore, it has come to be applied to a wide range of organs, such as liver, lung, kidney, thyroid, and bone/soft tissue tumors. In order to properly guide the needle to the target area, imaging support is necessary, and ultrasound, which has the advantages of high resolution and real-time capability, is the most frequently used modality. In other words, ablation can be said to be a therapeutic method that makes the most of the advantages of ultrasound. This article outlines the role of ultrasound in ablation for liver cancer and its specific usage.
