ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purpose of this article is to describe the use of MRI to safely monitor cryoablation for the treatment of spinal epidural malignancies.CONCLUSION:
Use of MRI guidance to monitor percutaneous cryoablation allows ablation margins more distinct than those allowed by heat-based ablation modalities. MRI-guided cryoablation is a feasible option for treating epidural tumors involving the spinal canal, resulting in successful decompression of the tumor away from the spinal cord with regrowth of previously eroded bone around the spinal canal.Palavras-chave
