Fig. 1. Computer tomography (CT) images of a 67-year-old man who underwent radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for a medium-sized hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a cluster electrode with a 2.5-cm active tip. (A) The arterial phase axial CT image 2 days prior to RFA shows a 3.3-cm diameter HCC in hepatic segment VIII (arrow). (B) The portal venous phase axial CT image and (C) coronal CT image 1 hour after RFA show the ablation zone (arrows). The calculated volume of the ablation zone is 40.2 cm3.
