使用图像引导肿瘤消融的介入肿瘤学领域需要术语和报告标准的标准化，以促进思想的有效交流和使用不同技术的治疗之间的适当比较，如化学（乙醇或乙酸）消融和热疗法，如射频、激光、微波、超声和冷冻消融。本文件提供了一个框架，有望促进研究人员之间最清晰的沟通，并将在许多新的、令人兴奋的和新兴的技术之间提供最大的灵活性进行比较。本文概述了报告图像引导消融治疗的各个方面的适当工具，包括治疗分类和程序术语，成像指导的适当描述符，以及定义成像和病理发现的术语。讨论了报告临床结果时应注意的随访结果、并发症和其他重要方面的标准化报告方法。该小组的意图是，遵守这些建议将有助于实现该小组的主要目标：提高该领域的精确度和沟通，从而更准确地比较技术和结果，并最终改善患者的治疗效果。RSNA 2005
The field of interventional oncology with use of image-guided tumor ablation requires standardization of terminology and reporting criteria to facilitate effective communication of ideas and appropriate comparison between treatments that use different technologies, such as chemical (ethanol or acetic acid) ablation, and thermal therapies, such as radiofrequency, laser, microwave, ultrasound, and cryo-ablation. This document provides a framework that will hopefully facilitate the clearest communication between investigators and will provide the greatest flexibility in comparison between the many new, exciting, and emerging technologies. An appropriate vehicle for reporting the various aspects of image-guided ablation therapy, including classification of therapies and procedure terms, appropriate descriptors of imaging guidance, and terminology to define imaging and pathologic findings, are outlined. Methods for standardizing the reporting of follow-up findings and complications and other important aspects that require attention when reporting clinical results are addressed. It is the group's intention that adherence to the recommendations will facilitate achievement of the group's main objective: improved precision and communication in this field that lead to more accurate comparison of technologies and results and, ultimately, to improved patient outcomes.
