PY - 2021 DA - 2021/07/29 TI - Matrix 3D ultrasound-assisted thyroid nodule volume estimation and radiofrequency ablation: a phantom study JO - European Radiology Experimental SP - 31 VL - 5 IS - 1 AB - Two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound is well established for thyroid nodule assessment and treatment guidance. However, it is hampered by a limited field of view and observer variability that may lead to inaccurate nodule classification and treatment. To cope with these limitations, we investigated the use of real-time three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to improve the accuracy of volume estimation and needle placement during radiofrequency ablation. We assess a new 3D matrix transducer for nodule volume estimation and image-guided radiofrequency ablation.
