Procedures we equip
Image-guided ablation treats nodules and tumours through a needle electrode or antenna, under ultrasound or CT guidance, often as a day-case alternative to open surgery.
Thyroid RFA
Outpatient, ultrasound-guided treatment for benign thyroid nodules. Systems from STARmed and RF Medical.
Liver tumour ablation
RFA and microwave ablation for primary and metastatic liver tumours. RF Medical, STARmed, Canyon.
Microwave ablation
High-power cooled-antenna platforms for fast, large-volume ablation. Canyon MaxBlate.
Cryoablation
Controlled freeze-thaw cycles, with the ablation zone visible under imaging. Hygea.
Digital radiography
Mobile and vehicle-mounted DR for hospital, field and screening use. Perlove.
Ozone therapy
Medical ozone generators for clinics, with accessories and consumables. Hänsler.
How the ablation methods compare
Radiofrequency, microwave and cryoablation all destroy tumour tissue through a needle or probe under image guidance. The differences below help teams shortlist a modality; the final choice for any patient is a clinical decision made by the treating physician.
| Compared on | Radiofrequency (RFA) | Microwave (MWA) | Cryoablation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Heat from a high-frequency electrical current | Heat from 2450 MHz microwave energy | Cold from controlled freeze-thaw cycles |
| How it works | Current causes frictional heating and coagulative necrosis | Microwaves agitate water molecules, heating the tissue | An ice ball forms around the probe and destroys the tissue |
| Often used for | Thyroid nodules and liver tumours | Liver, lung and kidney tumours | Tumours where the margin benefits from imaging visibility |
| Notable trait | Established; moving-shot technique for thyroid | Larger, faster ablation zone; less heat-sink near vessels | Ablation zone visible under imaging in real time |
| Systems we supply | RF Medical, STARmed | Canyon MaxBlate (150 W and 100 W) | Hygea AI Epic |
| Read the guide | Thyroid, liver | Microwave | Cryoablation |
Comparative information for healthcare professionals; modality selection is a clinical decision made by the treating physician.
