Tumour ablation: technical aspects

Image-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive, relatively low-risk procedure for tumour treatment. Local recurrence and survival rates depend on the rate of complete ablation of the entire tumour including a sufficient margin of surrounding healthy tissue. Currently a variety of different RFA devices are available. The interventionalist must be able to predict ...

Metadatabase Meets Distributed AI

Heterogeneous Distributed Database Management Systems (HDDBMS) involve the interoperability of data sources. One approach to achieve this type of integration is to build interfaces between the diierent databases being integrated. This approach holds, for a particular case, at a speciic point in time. In this case however, the database structures need to be adapted. Such adaptation is not advisa...
