Mathematical modeling of vaporization during laser-induced thermotherapy in liver tissue

Abstract Laser-induced thermotherapy (LITT) is a minimally invasive method causing tumor destruction due to heat ablation and coagulative effects. Computer simulations can play an important role to assist physicians with the planning and monitoring of the treatment. Our recent study with ex-vivo por...
