ablation: how to find a most experienced drs where you live

Post by Olga »

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology published the 10-years update on the efforts of its targeted task group. They work for standardization of terminology and reporting criteria to facilitate effective communication of ideas and appropriate comparison among treatments that use different technologies, such as chemical (eg, ethanol or acetic acid) ablation, thermal therapies (eg, radiofrequency, laser, microwave, focused ultrasound, and cryoablation) and newer ablative modalities such as irreversible electroporation.

for the end user of the technology - patient - of interest is the people forming this committee. If you click on the plus sign before of the Author information, it gives you to see all the places of work for these doctors so you might find the place that is close to you, in you country where they work and contact them in search of the most experienced drs in this new field.
Also there is a dr finder tool at the Society of the Interventional Radiology web-site that might be of help:
