Recent advances in multi-detector row computed tomography have enabled the synthesis of high-quality multiplanar reconstruction images. With this technique, arbitrary sectional images resembling conventional ultrasonography (US) images, i.e. virtual US images, can easily be created. We describe 3 cases of small hepatocellular carcinoma poorly visualized with US in which US-guided percutaneous ablation was safely and successfully performed with the assistance of the virtual US system. No local recurrence was found after a mean follow-up of 17 months. Percutaneous ablation using the virtual US system is a promising method for treating hepatocellular carcinoma poorly visualized with US.
多排探测器计算机断层扫描技术的最新进展使得高质量多平面重建图像的合成成为可能。通过这项技术，可以轻松创建类似于传统超声（US）图像的任意截面图像，即虚拟US图像。我们描述了3例超声难以清晰显示的小肝细胞癌病例，在虚拟US系统的辅助下，成功地安全实施了超声引导下经皮消融术。平均随访17个月后未发现局部复发。使用虚拟US系统进行经皮消融是治疗超声难以清晰显示的肝细胞癌的一种有前景的方法。
