Efficacy and Safety of Single-Session Radiofrequency Ablation in Treating Benign Thyroid Nodules: A Short-Term Prospective Cohort Study

Figure 1

A 37-year-old woman presented with neck bulging. (a) Axial sonographic image shows the trans-isthmic approach of 5 mm size active tip of the electrode (yellow arrow). (b) Axial sonographic image shows the moving-shot technique (yellow arrow). After ablation of the peripheral imaginary unit, the electrode is moved to the central portion and ablation is performed. (c) The hydrodissection technique was applied to preventing important structures by injecting slowly 10 ml 5% dextrose (red arrow).
