PURPOSE: To compare the lesion conspicuity of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) zones among MR sequences according to time in the normal rabbit liver. MATERIALS AND METHODS: RFA zones were created in 12 rabbit livers with a 17-gauge internally cooled electrode (1-cm active tip, 30 Watts, 3 minutes). Three rabbits were sacrificed immediately, three days, two weeks, and six weeks after the RFA procedure, respectively. Before sacrifice, T1-, T2-weighted images (WI), and gadolinium-enhanced (GE)-T1WI images were obtained. The lesion conspicuity of the RFA zone and the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the RFA zone to the liver parenchyma were analyzed and compared among the MR sequences according to time. RESULTS: On T1WI, the RFA zones were only clearly seen on acute phase. On T2WI, the RFA zones were clearly seen on all phases except the hyperacute phase. On GE T1WI, the RFA zones were clearly seen on all phases. The CNRs of the RFA zone to the liver parenchyma of GE-T1WI (8.1-12.4) were significantly higher than the CNRs of TIWI (1.6-2.7) and T2WI (1.7-6.3) on all phases (p < 0.05), but the visual lesion conspicuity between GE T1WI and T2WI were similar. CONCLUSION: On hyperacute phase, GE T1WI showed better lesion conspicuity of the RFA zone than T1WI and T2WI. On other phases, GE T1WI and T2WI showed similar lesion conspicuity.

Visceral artery pseudoaneurysms occur mostly as a result of inflammation and trauma. Owing to high risk of rupture, they require early treatment to prevent lethal complications. Knowledge of the various approaches of embolization of pseudoaneurysms and different embolic materials used in the management of visceral artery pseudoaneurysms is essential for successful and safe embolization. We review and illustrate the endovascular, percutaneous and endoscopic ultrasound techniques used in the treatment of visceral artery pseudoaneurysm and briefly discuss the embolic materials and their benefits and risks.

Guglielmi Detachable Coil(GDC) embolization is interventional radiology procedure for the management of aneurysm. The technique is recommended in case of patients' poor general condition, difficult surgical approach, but there is concerning about complications due to radiation exposure. We experienced a patient of radiation-induced dermatitis after GDC embolization. She presented with erythema, pus-like discharge, ulceration on scalp and right preauricular area, which symptoms was improved with medical managements. The authors report the case with pertinent literature review.

6.Interventional Treatment of Deep Vein Thrombosis.
Hanyang Medical Reviews 2011;31(1):32-37
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that affects hundreds of thousands of patients each year and treated with anticoagulation therapy alone to stop propagation and embolization of venous thrombus but not remove it. Extensive clinical research over the last 40 years has improved the techniques to remove the thrombus from the affected veins and reduce the likelihood of developing post-thrombotic syndrome. These endovascular treatments includes catheter-directed thrombolysis and recently pharmacomechanical thrombectomy to rapidly fragment, lyse, and remove the thrombus from the affected veins resulting in short treatment time, and improved the quality of life of the patients. This article provides an overview of the interventions available for treating DVT.

This study aimed to report three new cases of an association between two rare conditions, congenital portosystemic shunts (CPSS) and trimethylaminuria (TMAU), and the efficacy of endovascular closure of the CPSS for resolving TMAU. Between November 2014 and April 2017, 15 patients with CPSS were enrolled in this prospective study to assess the efficacy of percutaneous endovascular shunt closure. Three patients presented with clinical symptoms of TMAU that were confirmed by urine analysis of trimethylamine (TMA) and TMA n-oxide. One year after endovascular closure of the congenital portosystemic shunt, the same parameters were evaluated were obtained and the values were compared to the pretreatment values. The results indicated the disappearance of clinical symptoms of TMAU and normalization of the urine test parameters in two patients and no changes in one patient, who developed new portosystemic communications.

Transcatheter embolization using absolute ethanol is a widely used technic in interventional radiology. Butits mechanism of action and embolization effect on various infusion speed are poorly understood. Authors performedan experimental study in rabbits to doccument the effect of absolute ethanol onvarious infusion rate. The resultsare as follows; 1. In high speed infusion group(>0.1ml/sec. n=13), 11 cases showed peripheral obstruction and 2 cases showed central obstruction. 2. In low speed infusion group(<0.1ml/sec. n=12), 4 cases showed peripheralobstruction and 8 cases showed central obstruction (p<0.02). 3. On follow-up angiography performed 4 weeks later(n=8), no demonstrable significant differences are found between two groups.

10.Radiation exposure and its reduction in the fluoroscopic examination and fluoroscopy-guided interventional radiology.
Journal of the Korean Medical Association 2011;54(12):1269-1276
Radiation exposure during fluoroscopy has been of consistent interest because fluoroscopy is used not only for diagnostic purposes such as upper gastrointestinal series but for many minimally-invasive treatments in various clinical fields. In 2000, the International Commission on Radiological Protection published the important report about the avoidance of radiation injuries from medical interventional procedures, and this report defined harm during fluoroscopic-guided interventional procedure and how to reduce the radiation dose of patients and staff. Two aspects of fluoroscopy exposure differ from other types of medical radiation exposure, including computed tomography. One is that the entrance surface dose during an interventional procedure may be very high, so the deterministic effects of radiation such as skin or corneal injury should be emphasized more than stochastic effects such as cancer risk. The other is that the variation in radiation exposure is great for the same kind of procedure, so it is very difficult to generate a reference level for the radiation dose. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a guideline for the use of fluoroscopy through a nationwide survey about irradiation during fluoroscopic examinations and fluoroscopy-guided intervention procedures. In conclusion, radiation exposure by fluoroscopic guided intervention is not negligible, and the practitioner should always aim to reduce radiation exposure during interventional procedures.
