  This book offers a comprehensive guide to the technical basis of laser ablation, describing and reporting in detail on the latest findings. The world of medicine is currently working to reduce the invasiveness of treatment, in order to improve patients' quality of life. Image-guided ablations are rapidly becoming an effective alternative to several surgical treatments. Among the many techniques available for ablation, laser is still not widely used, though its efficacy has been amply demonstrated. The scientific community is now showing a growing interest in laser techniques for image-guided ablations, and many physicians are willing to start using lasers in their clinical practice. The book is divided into 16 chapters, including historical notes, technical aspects, outcomes of ex-vivo experiments, and results of the application of this technique in various clinical scenarios. It will be of great interest to a broad range of physicians (interventional radiologists, surgeons, gastroenterologists, endocrinologists, urologists), from less experienced trainees to expert physicians who want to introduce a novel clinical practice.

  This comprehensive book is the definitive guide to thyroid radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Thyroid nodules, whether benign or malignant, are prevalent, and while benign nodules often don't require treatment, some patients may seek intervention due to functional abnormalities or mass effects. Traditional treatments like surgery and radioactive iodine therapy are effective but may not be suitable for all patients due to risks or personal preferences.
  
  Thermal ablation, including radiofrequency, microwave, and high-intensity focused ultrasound, offers a promising non-surgical alternative. Among these, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) stands out as the most extensively researched and proven therapy, boasting both safety and clinical efficacy. This book represents a pivotal resource in steering thyroid patients toward non-surgical treatments, a paradigm shift in thyroid care.
  
  Starting with a comprehensive overview of thyroid nodule diagnosis and management, the book delves into specific guidance on thyroid RFA. Chapters explore the procedure itself, advanced techniques, clinical efficacy, and long-term management strategies. Additionally, it covers related techniques like embolization and RFA's applications in thyroid cancer.
  
  This book serves as an indispensable guide for managing patients with thyroid nodules. Whether you're seeking foundational knowledge or advanced insights, this book equips you with the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of thyroid RFA and deliver optimal patient care.
