Learning Curve for Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors

Virtual Radiofrequency Ablation of Liver Tumors

In the last few years, radiofrequency ablation has become one of the most promising techniques to treat liver tumors. But radiologists have to face the difficulty of planning their treatment while only relying on 2D slices. We present here a realistic radiofrequency ablation simulation tool, coupled with a 3D reconstruction and visualization project. They help radiologists to have a better visu...

Correction to: Efficacy of Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients with Metastatic Liver Tumors from Breast Carcinoma

In the article published in Volume 27, issue 158, 2017, the Results section in English Abstract have been published incorrectly. The correct Results is given below:   Results: The most frequent sizes of mass were 2-4 cm (n=33, 54%) and 4-5 cm (n=23, 38%). Among the patients, 35 (67.3%) had one tumor before, in 11.5% renew tumor happened, and 65.4% had one tumor after treatment. Liver tum...

Radiofrequency Ablation of Miscellaneous Solid Tumors Excluding Liver Tumors - 121616

In radiofrequency ablation (RFA), a probe is inserted into the center of a tumor and the noninsulated electrodes, which are shaped like prongs, are projected into the tumor; a heat is then generated locally by a high-frequency, alternating current that flows from the electrodes. The local heat treats the tissue adjacent to the probe, resulting in a 3 cm to 5.5 cm sphere of dead tissue. The cell...
