An image fusion system for estimating the therapeutic effects of radiofrequency ablation on hepatocellular carcinoma

During ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), high echoic areas due to RFA-induced microbubbles can help calculate the extent of ablation. However, these areas also decrease visualization of target tumors, making it difficult to assess whether they complet...
