Adequate quantification of liver metastases and reliable targeting of subtle lesions for percutaneous ablation are current challenges leading to hepatic resections/open ablations that maybe avoidable particularly in poor surgical candidates. This investigation reports the utilization of intra-procedural gadoxetate disodium with controlled breath suspension under anesthesia for a)detecting subtle metastases not seen on pre-procedure scans in a manner analogous to using intra-operative ultrasound for metastatic mapping prior to metastatectomy; b)facilitating precise percutaneous targeting of subtle previously unapproachable lesions; c)allowing proper tailoring of ablations and inclusion of adequate safety margins around infiltrative lesions and d) enhancing ablation safety near central bile ducts.
