Abstract:Background: Microwaves (MWs) deliver relatively high temperatures into biological tissue and cover a large ablation zone. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of water-cooled doubleneedle MW ablation arrays in assisting the hepatic transection of an in vivo pig model. Methods: Our research program comprised computer modeling, tissue-mimicking phantom experiments, and in vivo pig liver experiments. Computer modeling was based on the finite element method (FEM) to evaluate ablation temperat… Show more
