Journal ArticleDOI
Electrical conductivity measurement of excised human metastatic liver tumours before and after thermal ablation
TL;DR: While before ablation tumour tissue had considerably higher conductivity than normal tissue, the two had similar conductivity throughout the frequency range after ablation, and these data can potentially be used to differentiate tumour from normal tissue diagnostically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of variation in perfusion rates and of perfusion models in computational models of radio frequency tumor ablation
TL;DR: The authors found that both interpatient variation in base line tissue perfusion and the reduction in perfusion due to cirrhosis have considerable effect on ablation zone dimensions in FEM models of RF ablation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-volume radiofrequency ablation of ex vivo bovine liver with multiple cooled cluster electrodes.

TL;DR: Three methods of creating large thermal lesions with cool-tip cluster electrodes were compared and rapid switching created large round lesions by employing multiple electrodes concurrently, which substantially reduced treatment time and resulted in more effective heating between electrodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro measurements of temperature-dependent specific heat of liver tissue.
TL;DR: The specific heat of liver tissue in vitro is temperature-dependent, and increases by 17% at 83.5 degrees C (p < 0.05), compared to temperatures below 65 degrees C.
Patent
Electrode array for tissue ablation
TL;DR: In this article, a method, a system and an electrode array for radio frequency ablation is described, which allows for rapid ablation of a strip of tissue in an organ providing a barrier to blood loss during resection operations.
