Curative thermal ablation of a patient with oligonodular liver metastases of a neuroendocrine cancer of the colon. a Documentation of an unenhanced T1w sequence. First metastasis 10 mm in size, second 5 mm large. b Insertion of the microwave antenna into the area of the liver metastasis. c Documentation of the area of tissue necrosis, carbonization, and ablation in segment 5 measuring 35 mm, thus demonstrating a 1-cm safety margin surrounding the lesion. d MRI follow-up 6 years post thermal ablation of an oligonodular liver metastasis. Complete A0 ablation. No local tumor recurrence.
