Abstract

Radio-frequency (RF) hepatic ablation, offers an alternative method for the treatment of hepatic malignancies. We employed finite-element method (FEM) analysis to determine tissue temperature distribution during RF hepatic ablation. We constructed three-dimensional (3-D) thermal-electrical FEM model...
