Figure 7 Imaging findings of patients with cancer of the pancreatic head. (A) CT shows low-density mass at the pancreas head, which did not respond to second-line chemotherapy. (B) EUS-guided RFA was performed by using forward-viewing EUS with 50 W of ablation power for 10 seconds and was repeated 8 times. (C) One month after RFA, follow-up CT showed necrosis and air bubbles in the mass (arrow). (D) Two months after RFA, CT showed a decrease of the low-density mass.
