Safety margin assessment after microwave ablation of liver tumors: inter- and intrareader variability

Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the inter- and intrareader variability of the safety margin assessment after microwave ablation of liver tumors using post-procedure computed tomography (CT) images as well as to determine the sensitivity and specificity of identification remnant tumor tissue.
