Radio-frequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive treatment that can provide highly
localized and precise cancer therapy. Despite these advantages, its application in clinical …

Background One of the current shortcomings of radiofrequency (RF) tumor ablation is its
limited performance in regions close to large blood vessels, resulting in high recurrence …

A sensitivity analysis has been conducted to quantify the relative influence of several critical
parameters on the size of ablation volume generated during temperature-controlled …

Solid tumors can be ablated with minimal invasiveness using radio-frequency (RF) heating
under guidance of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To analyze the thermal damage in …
