## Abstract ## Background The RFA procedures rely on a precise positioning of the radiofrequency electrode and the complete destruction of the tumour. This article presents new optimization techniques to improve such surgical procedures. ## Methods A method to optimize the coverage of the tumour
## Abstract Imageβguided thermal ablation of liver tumors is a minimally invasive treatment option. Techniques used for thermal ablation are radiofrequency (RF) ablation, laser interstitial thermotherapy (LITT), microwave (MW) ablation, highβintensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), and cryoablation. Am
## Abstract ## Background A recent small study reported a high rate of neoplastic seeding after cooled-tip radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients who had undergone previous needle biopsy. Tumour seeding was associated with subcapsular tumour location, poorly d
