Abstract
One disadvantage of ultrasound (US)-guided cryoablation of breast cancer is the difficulty in visualizing the area behind the ice ball because of acoustic shadowing. We performed US-guided cryoablation with the patient in prone position inside the MR room. The lumpectomy specimen after cryoablation revealed dense fibrosis without residual viable cancer cells. The combination of needle insertion under US guidance with planning and verification using magnetic resonance imaging may be a feasible and promising treatment protocol.
