Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of HCC: reduced ablation duration and increased ablation size using single, internally cooled electrodes with an optimized pulsing algorithm
Purpose To assess the use of optimized radiofrequency (RF) to achieve larger, spherical ablation volumes with short application duration for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and methods Twenty-two patients (M:F = 17:5, median age 69.6 year, range 63–88) with 28 HCCs due to HCV + liver cirrh...
