Abstract:A model-based planning tool, integrated in an imaging system, is envisioned for CT-guided percutaneous microwave ablation. This study aims to evaluate the biophysical model performance, by comparing its prediction retrospectively with the actualablation ground truth from a clinical data set in liver. The biophysical model uses a simplified formulation of heat depositionon the applicator and a heat sink related to vasculature to solve the bioheat equation. A performance metric is defined toassess how the planne… Show more
