Conformal coverage of liver tumors by the thermal coagulation zone in 2450-MHz microwave ablation

Conformal coverage of liver tumors by the thermal coagulation zone in 2450-MHz microwave ablation

Purpose: To optimize treatment schemes using 2450-MHz microwave ablation (MWA), a novel conformal coverage method based on bipolar-angle mapping is proposed that determines whether a liver tumor is completely encompassed by thermal coagulation zones. Materials and methods: Firstly, three-dimensional...
