Abstract
Background MRgFUS represent a new therapeutic option for the non-surgical management of osteoid osteoma. The site of the lesion is the most significant limitation of use of this technique. Purpose of this study is to compare the clinical and morphological two years after the procedure, of the treatment of 28 osteoid osteomas with Magnetic Resonance guided Focus Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) versus the treatment with Radiofrequency termoablation (RF).
Highlights
Magnetic Resonance guided Focus Ultrasound Surgery (MRgFUS) represent a new therapeutic option for the non-surgical management of osteoid osteoma
The osteoid osteomas treated with MRgFUS were located in the femour (n.9), tibia (n.3) and in the talus (n. 1)
The lesions treated with Radiofrequency termoablation (RF) were located in the femour (n. 9), talus (n.2), vertebral body (L3 and L5) and tibial plateau (n.2)
Summary
Percutaneous CT guided radiofrequency thermoablation versus Magnetic Resonance guided Focalized Ultrasound Surgery (MrgFUS) in the treatment of Osteoid Osteoma. From 2nd European Symposium on Focused Ultrasound Therapy Rome, Italy. 10-11 October 2013
