Delayed complications following microwave ablation of lung tumours

James Harvey et al. J Med Imaging Radiat Oncol. 2019 Dec.

Abstract

The majority of complications following microwave ablation (MWA) of lung tumours are immediately evident, however, delayed complications do occasionally occur. The radiologist plays a major role in identifying and in guiding the management of these complications. This pictorial essay explores the imaging appejmironce of several potentially life-threatening delayed complications of pulmonary MWA.

Keywords: complication; delayed; lung tumour; microwave ablation.
