AB A 48-y-old man with a history of colon cancer presented with recurrent hepatic metastasis along a prior microwave ablation bed. Split-bolus, intraprocedural 18F-FDG PET was performed to guide repeat microwave ablation and immediately confirm complete treatment. PET-guided ablation is highly accurate for targeting and treating malignant hepatic lesions and feasible for nonspecialized tertiary care hospitals without an onsite cyclotron.
