“…With the aid of 3D US-CEUS fusion imaging, 33.7% (30/89) of the lesions estimated as Grade B received supplementary ablation, thus reducing the proportion of Grade B lesions to 7.9% (7/89). Finally, the technique effectiveness rate was 98.8% (81/82), higher than the range of 67.7-93.5% reported in previous studies under guidance by conventional US [22][23][24][25][26][27] and identical to the rate reported by Park et al (100%), who evaluated the usefulness of 3D US-US fusion imaging for the guidance of RFA of HCC [28]. In addition, no major complications occurred in these patients.…”

“…In one retrospective study, the proportion of HCCs with poor conspicuity was higher in fusion imaging-guided RFA (15.4% vs. 1.7%), indicating that inconspicuous HCCs could be treated with fusion imaging-guided RFA (28). In another study that included 46 HCCs treated with US fusion imaging-guided RFA, the technical success rate was 100% and the tumor progression rate was 8.7%, with a mean follow-up period of 18.2 months (29). On the basis of these results, US fusion imaging-guided RFA might be another possible rescue method for RFA in inconspicuous HCCs.…”

“…Ongoing research indicates that ultrasound-3D ultrasound/CEUS based on ultrasound images for fusion will overcome complex operation, image-alignment difficulty, and other shortcomings as compared to Ultrasound-CT/MRI imaging fusion. [54] Imaging fusion with real-time ultrasound and new ultrasonic techniques will provide a more convenient, inexpensive, and precisely mediated platform for minimally invasive treatment of tumors.…”

Objective:The arrival of precision medicine plan brings new opportunities and challenges for patients undergoing precision diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors. With the development of medical imaging, information on different modality imaging can be integrated and comprehensively analyzed by imaging fusion system. This review aimed to update the application of multimodality imaging fusion technology in the precise diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors under the precision medicine plan. We introduced several multimodality imaging fusion technologies and their application to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant tumors in clinical practice.Date Sources:The data cited in this review were obtained mainly from the PubMed database from 1996 to 2016, using the keywords of “precision medicine”, “fusion imaging”, “multimodality”, and “tumor diagnosis and treatment”.Study Selection:Original articles, clinical practice, reviews, and other relevant literatures published in English were reviewed. Papers focusing on precision medicine, fusion imaging, multimodality, and tumor diagnosis and treatment were selected. Duplicated papers were excluded.Results:Multimodality imaging fusion technology plays an important role in tumor diagnosis and treatment under the precision medicine plan, such as accurate location, qualitative diagnosis, tumor staging, treatment plan design, and real-time intraoperative monitoring. Multimodality imaging fusion systems could provide more imaging information of tumors from different dimensions and angles, thereby offing strong technical support for the implementation of precision oncology.Conclusion:Under the precision medicine plan, personalized treatment of tumors is a distinct possibility. We believe that multimodality imaging fusion technology will find an increasingly wide application in clinical practice.
