Goldberg et al. to induce cytotoxicity (4–6 min)[30]. Between 60 and 100 C, near
instantaneous induction of protein coagulation that irreversibly damages key cytosolic and …

Tumor ablation by using radio-frequency energy has begun to receive increased attention
as an effective minimally invasive approach for the treatment of patients with a variety of …

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: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and laser ablation (LA) are effective treatments
for benign thyroid nodules. Due to their relatively recent introduction into clinical practice …

Objective This study aims to compare radiofrequency (RF) heat lesion size across
electrodes and generator settings available for interventional pain management. Methods …

Radiofrequency (RF) tumor ablation has been demonstrated as a reliable method for
creating thermally induced coagulation necrosis using either a percutaneous approach with …

PURPOSE: To determine, by decreasing hepatic perfusion during radiofrequency (RF)
ablation, whether perfusion-mediated tissue cooling can explain the reduced coagulation …

Background The initial investigation of the use of radiofrequency waves in the body is
credited to d'Arsonval [22] in 1891, who showed that radiofrequency waves that pass …

BACKGROUND Radiofrequency (RF)‐induced tissue coagulation represents a new
approach for the thermal destruction of tumors within the liver. The purpose of the current …

PURPOSE: To assess the feasibility and safety of using cooled-tip electrodes to increase the
volume of coagulation necrosis obtained or reduce the number of treatment sessions …
