Abstract
Percutaneous image-guided thermal ablation is gaining attraction as an effective alternative to surgical resection for patients with primary and secondary malignancies of the lung. Currently, no standard follow-up imaging protocol has been established or uniformly accepted. The early identification of residual or recurrent tumor would in theory enable the practitioner to offer expeditious retreatment or alternative treatment. This review elaborates on the imaging findings following thermal ablation, both heat- and cold-based, of nonresectable pulmonary malignancies.Keywords
