Fig. 1

A 72-year-old man with painful osteogenic L4 metastases from prostate cancer was treated with MWA combined with VA. A, preoperative axial CT shows L4 osteogenic destruction. B-C, microwave antennas were placed bilaterally through the pedicle. D, an sagittal CT reconstruction after the insertion of the microwave antenna confirmed the position. E, a thermocouple was placed in the foramina to monitor temperature changes during MWA. F, bone cement was injected bilaterally. G-H, axial and sagittal CT reconstruction showed bone cement deposits in the lesion area
