Abstract:Microwave ablation (MWA) plays a crucial role in non-surgical liver cancer treatment, but the existing efficacy evaluation tools lack the characteristics of being real-time, non-invasive, and efficient. As an emerging imaging technology, thermoacoustic imaging (TAI) has attracted extensive clinical attention for its excellent merits, which combine the advantages of high contrast in microwave imaging and high resolution in ultrasound imaging. Particularly, the application of a circular scanned single-channel da… Show more
