| Popis: | Purpose This study aimed to explore the accuracy of different imaging methods for lesion volume estimation pre- and post-microwave ablation (MWA) as compared with that of pathological examination. Methods We used the VX2 cell line to establish the VX2 lung tumor model in rabbits, followed by MWA of the tumor. The imaging features of the VX2 tumors were documented. The volume of the tumors and the ablated lesions were measured and compared across imaging methods, using the pathological examination as reference. Results Tumors were successfully developed in 11 rabbits (age, 13.91 ± 1.38 weeks; weight, 2.15 ± 0.56 kg). The mean volume of the tumors was 2.05 ± 1.88 cm3. CT showed the strongest correlation with the pathologic examination results (r = 0.998, p |
