13 Kouloulias et al. Acta Radiol. 2004;45: If n(i) is the number of pixels whose intensity is I and N is the total number of pixels in the region of interest, then the occurrence probability of intensity I is: P(I) = n(i) / N At eight-bit gray-level quantization, the resulting distribution takes the form of a first-order histogram with 256 bins, where each bin is one of the integer sample values I = 0,..., 255. Then the mean value of the gray-level histogram (MVGLH) is assessed as: 255! = I(PI) I=0 estimating the value around which central clustering occurs. Next, the energy of the gray-level histogram (EGLH) is assessed by: 255 energy = P(I) I=0

Radiotherapy in conjunction with intravenous infusion of 180 mg of disodium pamidronate in management of osteolytic metastases from breast cancer: Clinical evaluation, biochemical markers, quality of life, and monitoring of recalcification using assessments of gray-level histogram in plain radiographs. Int. J. Radiat. Oncol. Biol. Phys. 2003;57: First-order statistics as an image processing technique for the evaluation of recalcification of bone lytic metastasis at the femur after radiotherapy. Mean value and energy (MVGLH, EGLH) at baseline (EGLH = 0.19, MVGLH = 155.1) and six months after initiation of multimodality treatment (EGLH = 0.17, MVGLH = 173.3). P(I) refers to the probability of intensity (I).

15 Increase of bone density after biphosphonates and RT More than 80% but not 100% of complete response and pain relief.

16 What else?

17 Analgesic effect of cementoplasty The analgesic benefit of cementoplasty in bone metastases is welldocumented in the medical literature as producing a reduction in pain in 80 to 97% of cases. This benefit is obtained irrespective of the bone site treated, whether vertebrae, long bones or flat bones Cementoplasty is also very effective for metastatic pain of the long and flat bones, producing a significant improvement in the pain in 91% of patients (the mean VAS/10 progressing from 8.7 to 1.9). This analgesic effect is obtained rapidly, generally between the first and third day following the procedure, permitting early postoperative mobilisation of patients and a short hospital stay (24 48 hours) Anselmetti. Semin Intervent Radiol, 27 (2) (2010) Alvarez et al. have shown that cementoplasty of a painful metastatic vertebra produced a significant reduction in pain in 81% of the patients treated (the mean of the VAS/10 progressing from 9.1 to 3.2) and the possibility of walking again in 77% of patients initially bedridden because of it. Eur Spine J, 12 (2003)

18 Cementoplasty of bone metastases Deschamps et al. Diagn Interv Imaging The role of cementoplasty compared with analgesic radiotherapy is still to be defined. It does indeed have a number of advantages its efficacy, the rapidity of its action, its action of consolidation, the possibility of treating areas already irradiated, and more and more oncologists are employing percutaneous techniques, and cementoplasty in particular, as a first course of action for managing bone metastases. This enables them firstly to keep radiotherapy in reserve for contraindications to local treatment

19 Interventional radiology and bone metastases Iannessi et al. Bull Cancer 2013 If the goal is pain relief, cementoplasty provides a very effective bone consolidation and pain control. Simple and low-risk, vertebroplasty is the technique of choice in case of lytic bone metastases with spinal fracture risk or after failure of analgesic radiotherapy. If the medical project is curative, the tumor ablation procedures are realised through thermic or embolic techniques. After 60 C, the heat induces a coagulative necrose. Under -20 C, the cold leads to destroy the tissues. The major advantage of the cryotherapy is the predictibility of the ablation zone due to the well-visualized ice ball on perprocedural images. This technique is much more adapted to spare the nervous structures closed to the metastasis.

20 Pelvic osteoplasty in osteolytic metastases: technical approach under fluoroscopic guidance and early clinical results. Kelekis A, et al. J Vasc Interv Radiol Methods: Twenty-three lytic metastases of the superior and inferior pubic rami and ischial tuberosities were treated in 14 consecutive patients. Percutaneous access of the bones was performed under fluoroscopy. All patients had pain refractory to radiation and narcotic therapy and were unsuitable candidates for surgery according to multidisciplinary consensus. RESULTS: Technical success was achieved in all cases. Clinically, effective pain relief was obtained in 92% of patients. One intraarticular asymptomatic minor complication and one major complication resulting from leakage near the pudendal nerve were observed. The latter was subsequently treated by radiofrequency ablation. CONCLUSION: Pelvic osteoplasty appears to be a safe and highly effective palliative therapy for painful osteolytic malignant bone metastases.

21 Something is missing!!!! RT produces 61% complete response in palliation. RT plus biphosphonates produces 70-80% complete response in palliation IR produces more than 80% of palliation Cementoplasty produces hyperthermia which has also a synergistic effect with radiotherapy!
