Standard-dose protocol CT-guided microwave ablation of lung tumor. A 73-year-old male patient, with a height of 1.69 m, weight of 73 kg, and a BMI of 25.56. He had a solitary lung adenocarcinoma in the lower lobe of the right lung. He cannot endure surgy because of renal failure, and received standard-dose protocol CT-guided lung tumor MWA. The local scan radiation dose was 0.812 mSv, and the overall radiation dose during ablation was 9.53 mSv for this patient. A: Preoperative local lesion scan clearly shows the solid nodule. B During the puncture process, the ablation needle punctures to a satisfactory ablation site. C: Whole lung scan images after ablation show that the lesion was completely covered by a ground glass halo.
