Noninvasive assessment of tissue heating during cardiac radiofrequency ablation using MRI thermography.
BACKGROUND Failure to achieve properly localized, permanent tissue destruction is a common cause of arrhythmia recurrence after cardiac ablation. Current methods of assessing lesion size and location during cardiac radiofrequency ablation are unreliable or not suited for repeated assessment during the procedure. MRI thermography could be used to delineate permanent ablation lesions because tiss...
متن کاملAn Investigation of Brightness Changes in Ultrasound Images due to Temperature Variations in Liver Tissue during Radiofrequency Ablation
Introduction: one of the minimally invasive methods of treatmenting liver malignancies is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) which can be applied to primary or secondary tumors. Nevertheless, the disease recurrence is probable after RFA application partially due to the inadequate capability of temperature monitoring of the target tissue and visualizing the thermal damage. The goal of this work was t...
متن کاملA Model of Noninvasive Radiofrequency Tissue Heating
Introduction: Noninvasive radiofrequency (RF) tissue heating is frequently used for skin tightening and facial wrinkle reduction as alternative to invasive surgical procedures. The aim of this technique is to heat dermis and subcutaneous tissue in order to induce modifications in the collagen structure, which is then followed by formation of new collagen fibers and long-term tissue remodeling [...
متن کاملTissue heating during tumor ablation with irreversible electroporation
Exposing biological cells to sufficiently strong external electric fields causes electroporation of cell membranes, i.e. occurrence of transient or permanent permeable pathways between the interior and exterior of the cell. Electroporation can be used to introduce various molecules into cells (reversible electroporation) or to kill cells (irreversible electroporation), which can in turn be used...
متن کاملI-46: Radiofrequency Ablation of Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are benign solid tumors that are present in the majority of women. While often asymptomatic, fibroids can result in abnormal uterine bleeding, pelvic pressure, pain, subfertility, dyspareunia and other symptoms. Submucous and intramural fibroids are most associated with heavy menstrual bleeding; subserosal fibroids are more often innocuous unless sufficiently large so as to con...
