Purpose: To evaluate gyroscope-assisted CT-guided needle puncture (GAP) compared to free hand puncture (FHP) in a phantom.
Material and methods: A simple, low-cost gyroscope was equipped with a magnetic rail to attach it to common puncture needles. 18 radiologists with different levels of training and experience in CT-guided punctures first punctured three targets in free hand technique in a special biopsy phantom with different difficulty levels of the puncture path (T1: not angulated, needle path 7.3 cm, size 15 mm in diameter, T2: single angulated 41°, needle path 11.3 cm, size 9 mm in diameter, T3: double angulated 38°/26°, needle path 7 cm, size 8 mm in diameter). Without knowing the result of the puncture, a second puncture was performed directly afterwards with the aid of the gyroscope. Punctures were performed in a continuous procedure without intermediate control. The hit rate and the distance between the needle tip and the center of the lesion were evaluated. Additionally, the time needed for the procedure was measured.
Results: Thirty-three of 54 insertions (61.1%) hit the target in GAP compared to 20 of 54 (37%) in FHP (p = 0.002). The mean distance of the needle tip to the lesion center was 7.49 ± 5.31 mm in GAP compared to 13.37 ± 10.24 mm in FHP (p < 0.001). Puncture time was not significantly different between GAP (36.72 ± 20.38 s) and FHP (37.83 ± 20.53 s) (p = 0.362).
Conclusion: Needle guidance with a gyroscope enables an improved hit rate and puncture accuracy in CT-guided punctures without prolonging the puncture time. The needle guidance by gyroscope is inexpensive and easy to establish.

Purpose: To determine the efficacy and safety of cryoablation in pediatric and young adult patients with desmoid tumors (DTs) retrospectively over a 10-year period.
Materials and methods: Twenty-one patients (age 2-22 years; median 14 years), with 21 desmoid tumors, underwent a total of 34 percutaneous cryoablation procedures between August 2013 and August 2023. All patients, excluding two, had surgical resection, chemotherapy, or a combination of these therapies with failed or suboptimal response. Clinical and imaging outcomes were analyzed for technical success, change in tumor volume, and recurrence of tumor, symptom improvement or recurrence, and procedure-related complications.
Results: All procedures were technically successful. The median follow-up duration was 9 months (range, 3-32 months); total symptomatic improvement was achieved in 90% (19/21) patients, noticeable pain relief was seen in 100% (18/18) and 90% (9/10) patients had improved range of motion (ROM), discomfort resolved in 66.7% (2/3) patients. Of the treated tumors, 43% (9/21) showed greater than 75% tumor volume reduction of which 44% (4/9) had no evidence of viable residual tumor at follow-up, and 33% (7/21) had 50-75% volume reduction and 14% (3/21) had greater than 40-50% tumor volume reduction. According to modified response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (mRECIST), 71%( 15/21) had partial response (PR), 19% (4/21) had complete response (CR), and 10% (2/21) had stable disease. Four (12%) treatments were associated with minor complications, which self-resolved.
Conclusion: In this, predominantly pediatric patient cohort, cryoablation was effective and safe for the local control of extra-abdominal desmoid tumors in short-term follow-up.

Purpose: To describe clinical outcomes among patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) 24 months following prostatic artery embolization (PAE).
Materials and methods: This was an international, multicenter, prospective trial of males with BPH with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) or acute urinary retention (AUR) treated with PAE. The primary outcome was the 12 month change in the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) for patients referred for bothersome LUTS, or urinary catheter independence for patients treated for AUR. Secondary outcome measures included changes in IPSS at 3 and 24 months, changes in quality of life (QoL), changes in the Sexual Health Inventory for Men (SHIM) questionnaire, technical success rate, and adverse events (AEs). Data were summarized using descriptive statistics.
Results: Four hundred seventy-eight consecutive patients underwent PAE (bothersome LUTS: N = 405; AUR: N = 73), mean age was 70 years. For patients treated for bothersome LUTS, mean total IPSS at baseline was 21.8 and decreased to 9.3, 10.6, and 11.2 at 3, 12, and 24 months following PAE, respectively (all p < 0.001); QoL at baseline was 4.7 and decreased to 2.0, 2.1, and 2.3 at 3, 12, and 24 months, respectively (all p < 0.001). The mean SHIM score at baseline and 12 months following PAE was 13.8 and 13.9, respectively. Of the 73 patients treated for AUR, 48 (65.8%) had their indwelling catheter removed within 3 months of PAE and remained catheter free at 24 months. Fifty-five patients (11.5%) experienced ≥ 1 AE and 10 (2.1%) experienced a serious AE.
Conclusion: PAE is a safe and effective treatment for symptomatic BPH and LUTS. Level of Evidence Level 3 Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT03527589.

Introduction: Literature shows differences in pain experiences between sexes. The exact influence of thermal liver ablation on experienced pain is still not well-known. This study aims to investigate the maximum pain intensity at the recovery between men and women after percutaneous thermal liver ablation.
Methods: Patients treated with percutaneous thermal liver ablation (radiofrequency or microwave ablation) in Maastricht University Medical Center + between 2018 and 2022 for primary or secondary liver tumors were included retrospectively. Outcomes included maximum numerical rating scale (NRS, scale:0-10) score at the recovery room, prevalence of post-procedural pain (defined as NRS score ≥ 4), duration of anesthesia, length of stay at recovery, and complications. Regression analyses were adjusted for age, ASA-score, BMI, tumor type, maximum diameter of lesion, chronic pain in patients' history, and history of psychological disorder.
Results: 183 patients were included of which 123 men (67%). Results showed higher average maximum NRS scores in women patients compared to men (mean:3.88 versus 2.73), but not after adjustments (aß:0.75, 95%CI:-0.13-1.64). Women suffered more from acute post-procedural pain (59% versus 35%; aOR:2.50, 95%CI:1.16-5.39), and needed analgesics more often at the recovery room (aOR:2.43, 95%CI:1.07-5.48) compared to men. NRS score at recovery arrival did not significantly differ (aß:0.37, 95%CI:-0.48-1.22). No differences were seen in the length of stay at the recovery, duration of anesthesia, procedure time, and complication rate. Location of the tumor (subcapsular or deep), total tumors per patient, and distinction between primary and secondary tumors had no influence on the NRS.
Conclusion: This retrospective single-center study shows higher post-procedural pain rates after thermal liver ablation in women, resulting in higher analgesics use at the recovery room. The results suggest considering higher dosage of analgesics during thermal liver ablation in women to reduce post-procedural pain. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3: Non-controlled retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: Currently, significant medical practice variation exists in thermal ablation (TA) of malignant liver tumors with associated differences in outcomes. The IMaging and Advanced Guidance for workflow optimization in Interventional Oncology (IMAGIO) consortium aims to integrate interventional oncology into the standard clinical pathway for cancer treatment in Europe by 2030, by development of a standardized low-complex-high-precision workflow for TA of malignant liver tumors. This study was conducted at the start of the IMAGIO project with the aim to explore the current state and future role of modern technology in TA of malignant liver tumors.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire was conducted followed by an expert focus group discussion with core members and collaborating partners of the consortium.
Results: Of the 13 participants, 10 respondents filled in the questionnaire. During the focus group discussion, there was consensus on the need for international standardization in TA and several aspects of the procedure, such as planning based on cross-sectional images, the adoption of different techniques for needle placement and the importance of needle position- and post-ablative margin confirmation scans. Yet, also considerable heterogeneity was reported in the adoption of modern technology, particularly in navigational systems and computer-assisted margin assessment.
Conclusion: This study mirrored the current diversity in workflow of thermal liver ablation. To obtain comparable outcomes worldwide, standardization is needed. While advancements in tools and software hold the potential to homogenize outcome measurement and minimize operator-dependent variability, the rapid increase in availability also contributes to enhanced workflow variation.
目的:目前,恶性肝肿瘤的热消融术(TA)在医疗实践中存在很大差异,相关的治疗效果也不尽相同。IMAGIO(IMaging and Advanced Guidance for workflow optimization in Interventional Oncology)联盟的目标是到2030年将介入肿瘤学纳入欧洲癌症治疗的标准临床路径,为恶性肝脏肿瘤的热消融(TA)开发一套标准化的低复杂度高精度工作流程。这项研究是在 IMAGIO 项目开始时进行的,旨在探索现代技术在恶性肝肿瘤 TA 中的现状和未来作用:研究先进行了横向问卷调查,然后与联盟核心成员和合作伙伴进行了专家焦点小组讨论:结果:在 13 位参与者中,有 10 位填写了问卷。在焦点小组讨论中,与会者就 TA 国际标准化的必要性以及手术的几个方面达成了共识,如根据横断面图像进行规划、采用不同的置针技术以及针的位置和剥离后边缘确认扫描的重要性。然而,在采用现代技术,特别是导航系统和计算机辅助边缘评估方面也存在相当大的差异:本研究反映了当前肝脏热消融工作流程的多样性。为了在全球范围内获得可比的结果,需要实现标准化。虽然工具和软件的进步有可能使结果测量趋于一致,并最大限度地减少操作者的依赖性变异,但可用性的快速增长也导致了工作流程变异的增加。
