CT guidance affords the best available visualization of needle and probe placement in the lesion nidus. Helical CT with low-dose and CT fluoroscopy makes for a quicker procedure and a lower patient dose (Silverman et al. 1999 Teeuwisse et al. 2001). Lesion size and the configuration of the thermal lesion in particular can he controlled directly during the procedure. Therapy strategy can he adjusted hy the operator during the procedure and provides an effective thermal ablation and therapy result. However, the complication rate is reduced...
