Background Detailed information on the temperature dependence of tissue thermophysical
and mechanical properties is pivotal for the optimal implementation of mathematical models …

Tumor ablation is a minimally invasive technique that is commonly used in the treatment of
tumors of the liver, kidney, bone, and lung. During tumor ablation, thermal energy is used to …

Image-guided tumor ablation has become a well-established hallmark of local cancer
therapy. The breadth of options available in this growing field increases the need for …

Background Confirming ablation completeness with sufficient ablative margin is critical for
local tumor control following colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) ablation. An image-based …

Thermal ablation of liver tumors near large blood vessels is affected by the cooling effect of
blood flow, leading to incomplete ablation. Hence, we conducted a comparative …

Percutaneous thermal ablation has proven to be an effective modality for treating both
benign and malignant tumours in various tissues. Among these modalities, radiofrequency …

Microwaves are a promising source for thermal tumor ablation due to their ability to rapidly
heat dispersive biological tissues, often to temperatures in excess of 100 C. At these high …

Although surgical resection is still the optimal treatment option for early-stage hepatocellular
carcinoma (HCC) in patients with well compensated cirrhosis, thermal ablation techniques …

Purpose: A sensitivity analysis has been performed on a mathematical model of
radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the liver. The purpose of this is to identify the most …

Microwave thermal ablation (MTA) is a minimally invasive therapeutic technique aimed at
destroying pathologic tissues through a very high temperature increase induced by the …
