Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of a custom-developed numerical simulation of hepatic multibipolar radiofrequency ablation (mbRFA) under standardized conditions, accounting for temperature-dependent changes in tissue properties, dehydration and coagulation. The model was specifically assessed for its ability to predict vascular cooling effects induced by large vessel…
