title: Evaluation of liver metastases after radiofrequency ablation: utility of 18F-FDG PET and PET/CT.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Our objective was to review the CT appearance of liver metastases after radiofrequency ablation and to describe the imaging findings of and utility of (18)F-FDG PET and PET/CT in assessing tumor recurrence after ablation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  (18)F-FDG PET and PET/CT can provide added diagnostic information compared with conventional imaging in patients after radiofrequency ablation of liver metastases and can be useful in guiding repeat ablation procedures.
