SUCCESSFUL PERCUTANEOUS TREATMENT OF OSTEOID OSTEOMA IN A 13 MONTH-OLD BOY WITH RADIOFREQUENCY ABLATION UNDER CT GUIDANCE

Successful percutaneous treatment of osteoid osteoma in a 13 month-old boy with radiofrequency ablation under CT guidance

We present a 13-month-old boy who had a successful Computed Tomography (CT) guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) treatment for the osteoid osteoma (OO) on proximal part of the tibial diaphysis.The complaints of the patient were being restless due to pain and refusing to bear any weight on his left leg for 6 months.An asymmetrical corti

Design and analysis of a 3-DOF planar micromanipulation stage with large rotational displacement for micromanipulation system

Flexure-based mechanisms have been widely used for scanning tunneling microscopy, nanoimprint lithography, fast servo tool system and micro/nano manipulation.In this paper, a novel planar micromanipulation stage with large rotational displacement is proposed.The designed monolithic manipulator has three degrees of freedom (DOF), i.e.two translation
