Radiofrequency ablation of liver VX2 tumor: experimental results with MR diffusion-weighted imaging at 3.0T.

<h4>Purpose</h4>To evaluate the value of DWI in detecting the lesions of pre- and post-radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the rabbit liver VX2 tumors.<h4>Materials and methods</h4>Twenty-two New Zealand White rabbits were tested. The protocol was approved by the Committee on th...
