Purpose To demonstrate and quantify the heat sink effect in hepatic microwave ablation
(MWA) in a standardized ex vivo model, and to analyze the influence of vessel distance and …

Objective To explore various microwave (MW) time/power combinations to achieve
maximum single-probe system performance in a live pig liver model. Methods Fifty-one …

Background Microwave ablation (MWA) is postulated to have several advantages over other
thermoablative modalities in the treatment of hepatic tumors. Herein, we use an in vivo …

Objective The aim of the present study was to assess the temperature map and its
reproducibility while applying two different MWA systems (915 MHz vs 2.45 GHz) in ex vivo …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of continuous and pulsed
energy deliveries on microwave ablation growth and shape in unperfused and perfused liver …

PURPOSE: To determine influence of hepatic vein size on perfusion-mediated attenuation in
adjacent microwave thermal ablation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: With approval of the …

Purpose Heat-induced destruction of cancer cells via microwave ablation (MWA) is
emerging as a viable treatment of primary and metastatic liver cancer. Prediction of the …

Background. Thermal ablative techniques have gained increasing popularity in recent years
as safe and effective options for patients with unresectable solid malignancies. Microwave …

RATIONAL AND OBJECTIVES: Microwave ablation is an alternative therapy with high cost-
effectiveness for liver malignancy. The authors designed this experiment to compare the …

Purpose: To prospectively investigate whether the ablation zone induced with microwaves
could be increased by delivering greater energy with a cooled-shaft antenna. Materials and …
