Figure 3

The comparison of the nodular vascular scores between the RFA and MWA groups. There were no significant differences in the vascular scores before the ablation and at the 3rd, 6th, and 12th month and the last follow-up The mean ± standard deviation is illustrated. (RFA: radiofrequency ablation; MWA: microwave ablation; RF_Vascular: the mean vascular score in the RFA group; MW_Vascular: the mean vascular score in the MWA group; BA: before the ablation; mo: months; FU: follow-up).
