Abstract:Background and PurposeThermochromic gel phantoms provide a controlled medium for visual assessment of thermal ablation device performance. However, there are limited studies reporting on the comparative assessment of ablation profiles assessed in thermochromic gel phantoms against those inex vivotissue. The objective of this study was to compare microwave ablation zones in a thermochromic tissue mimicking gel phantom andex vivobovine liver, and to report on measurements of the temperature dependent dielectric … Show more
