title: Imaging-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary metastatic nodules caused by hepatocellular carcinoma: preliminary experience.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of imaging-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of metastatic pulmonary nodules caused by hepatocellular carcinoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation is feasible and can be a promising method for the local control of metastatic pulmonary nodules caused by hepatocellular carcinoma, especially when they are limited in number.
