Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure performed under ultrasound guidance that offers the ability to significantly reduce the size of benign thyroid nodules. Although application for benign nodules has only emerged during the past 5 to 10 years in North America, RFA has an impressive track record of nodule reduction, compressive and cosmetic symptom improvement, and excellent safety profile without the morbidity of open surgery. The role of RFA in autonomous functioning nodules, thyroid cancer, and indeterminate nodules is controversial and remains an area of investigation.
射频消融术（RFA）是一种在超声引导下进行的微创程序，它具有显著缩小良性甲状腺结节大小的能力。虽然在北美，RFA 应用于良性结节仅在过去 5 到 10 年内才出现，但它在结节缩小、压迫和美容症状改善方面有着令人印象深刻的记录，并且具有出色的安全性，没有开放性手术的发病率。RFA 在自主功能性结节、甲状腺癌和不确定结节中的作用存在争议，仍是一个研究领域。
