A 55-year-old woman with a large solid thyroid nodule extending to subclavian region received ultrasound-guided sequential radiofrequency ablation treatment. (A) Before the first radiofrequency ablation ultrasound image in transverse view unveils a solid thyroid nodule of 4.2 × 3.9 cm that extended to the subclavian region. (B) Contrast-enhanced ultrasound manifests hyperenhancement in large thyroid nodule. (C) Ultrasound image in transverse view confirms that sterile water has reached between thyroid tissue and carotid artery. (D) Ultrasound image in transverse view reveals that sterile water has reached between thyroid tissue and trachea. (E) Ultrasound image in transverse view shows that percutaneous radiofrequency ablation was implemented utilizing the moving shot technique. (F) Contrast-enhanced ultrasound indicates residual enhancement in partial thyroid nodule extending below clavicle immediately after the first radiofrequency ablation.
