Finite Element Analysis of Hepatic Radiofrequency Ablation Probes using Temperature-Dependent Electrical Conductivity
BACKGROUND Few finite element models (FEM) have been developed to describe the electric field, specific absorption rate (SAR), and the temperature distribution surrounding hepatic radiofrequency ablation probes. To date, a coupled finite element model that accounts for the temperature-dependent electrical conductivity changes has not been developed for ablation type devices. While it is widely ...
متن کاملInvestigation of radiofrequency ablation process in liver tissue by finite element modeling and experiment.
BACKGROUND The character of ablation processes with high-frequency electrical current is similar in most biological tissues; however, quantitative characteristics are very different. Consequently, mathematical models of the process have a lot of specific aspects. In this study, we developed mathematical model of radiofrequency ablation in liver tissues with experimental validation of model in e...
متن کاملParametric sensitivity analysis of radiofrequency ablation with efficient experimental design
The aim of this research is to analyze the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for varying electrothermal parameters. An attempt has been made to study the RFA for the effect of thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity and blood perfusion rate with Taguchi’s design of experiments methodology. Their combined effect was analyzed quantitatively in different tissues. It was found that ab...
متن کاملCell death, perfusion and electrical parameters are critical in models of hepatic radiofrequency ablation
PURPOSE A sensitivity analysis has been performed on a mathematical model of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in the liver. The purpose of this is to identify the most important parameters in the model, defined as those that produce the largest changes in the prediction. This is important in understanding the role of uncertainty and when comparing the model predictions to experimental data. MATE...
متن کاملPRF thermometry during MR-guided focused ultrasound ablation in a preclinical thiel model
Background/introduction Proton Resonance Frequency (PRF) MR Thermometry is a useful method for treatment planning with MR-guided Focused Ultrasound (MRgFUS), as it provides accurate, real-time temperature maps. Thiel is an embalming medium that retains physical properties and life-like characteristics of human and animal tissue. The aim of the present study was to determine the accuracy of PRF ...
