Abstract:Background: According to current data, 90% of liver cancers are hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) which remains a global health challenge. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the most used ablative techniques that shows promising results with small HCC tumors.
Aim: To improve the efficiency of RFA on large HCC tumors, it is proposed to carry out computer simulations to plan a robotic operation.
Methods: Based on anonymized medical data, we developed a set of algorithms for planning robotic RFA electrode inser… Show more
