Principles of Microwave Ablation

Microwave ablation—guided in real time by high-resolution ultrasound—allows physicians to precisely identify and target thyroid nodules with exceptional accuracy. By controlling the power, duration, and energy field, the system generates focused hyperthermia that rapidly dehydrates and destroys abnormal tissue. The body then naturally clears the treated cells, and normal thyroid activity is preserved.

This technique can be combined with needle biopsy for ongoing evaluation, ensuring accurate monitoring of treatment response, nodule reduction, and long-term success.
