CT body composition data prove useful for diagnosing metastatic NSCLC

January 7, 2025

Ultrasound images depict a 63-year-old man who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism. (A–D) 2D images show four hyperplastic parathyroid glands on the right and left sides (marked with crosshairs). The numbers near the crosshairs represent the number of measured trails. (E) Ultrasound-guided infusion of isolation fluid (arrowheads) around the hyperplastic parathyroid gland to protect vital organs such as the trachea (Tr), carotid arteries (CA), and recurrent laryngeal nerve pathway area (arrow). F) Ultrasound-guided RFA of the hyperplastic parathyroid gland. (G) Immediate postoperative contrast-enhanced ultrasound shows no contrast enhancement in the ablation area. The ablation procedures for the other three parathyroid glands were the same as those described above. Image courtesy of the RSNA,
