Abstract

Abstract

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignant tumor in clinical practice, and image-guided thermal ablation is a radical treatment method for early-stage HCC and a method for palliative tumor reduction and combination with systematic therapy for advanced HCC. With the advantages of real-time imaging, accurate guiding, easy operation, portability, low cost, no radiation damage, and high efficiency, ultrasound plays an important role in preoperative planning, intraoperative guiding, postoperative evaluation, and long-term follow-up in thermal ablation for HCC. With the advances in ultrasound and imaging fusion technology and the development of functional imaging technology represented by photoacoustic imaging, ultrasound-guided thermal ablation is at the forefront of precision treatment of HCC, achieving long-lasting development and developing into a more minimally invasive, accurate, safe, and effective diagnostic and therapeutic mode.
