Cryoablation effective in women with breast cancer

AuntMinnie

Cryoablation uses imaging guidance typically with ultrasound or CT to locate tumors. Patients underwent cryoablation between January 2017 and March 2023. Follow-up imaging was performed after the procedure by mammogram, ultrasound, or in some cases contrast-enhanced mammogram or MRI, based on patient eligibility and preference.

A brief history of radiology

Radiology Cafe

The theoretical basis for ultrasound physics has been around since 1794, but it wasn’t until 1942, when Dr Karl Theodore Dussik in Austria transmitted an ultrasound beam through a human skull to view the brain, that ultrasound was first used in medicine. (13) This was a defining publication in the field of medical ultrasound. (14)
