TL;DR: The purpose of this article is to review the basic principles of radiofrequency [RF] thermal ablation with the goal of providing insights into achieving optimal results (i.e. reproducible large volume tissue coagulation) in the safest possible manner.

TL;DR: A literature review of a variety of methods for the estimation of tissue elasticity that have been reported in the literature in the past 15 years, and of data on the elastic properties of soft tissues.

TL;DR: The sonographic measurement of ONSD is a readily learned, reproducible technique with low intra- and inter-observer variation that is comparable to the inherent variability of the ultrasound machine.

TL;DR: RF ablation advantages include minimal-invasiveness (no mortality, significantly lower complications), reduced costs and hospital stays compared to surgery, feasibility in non-surgical candidates, and the potential of repeated treatment if local recurrence occurs or new metastases develop.

TL;DR: ART-lab in real-time mode is a useful tool for monitoring arterial vessel wall dynamics, while off-line it can be employed to investigate the elastic vessel wall properties in combination with hemodynamics, such as blood flow velocity and shear rate distribution.
