Combination of NCPB and implantation of 125I particles. A: Male, 47 years old, had the bone metastasis of meningioma, suffering from the continuous pains in the sacrococcygeal region and left lower extremity. B: The patients was in the prone position, and implanted the total 50 particles of 125I twice, as well as 30 ml mixture of 99.5% dehydrated ethanol and ultra-liquefied lipiodol (ratio as about 9:1). C: The pain in the left lower extremity significantly improved 1 day after the surgery. The 3rd-month CT recheck revealed that the particles and ultra-liquefied lipiodol evenly distributed inside the lesions.
