Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are ineffective against primary and secondary malignant hepatic tumors. Surgical resection has been considered the only potentially curative option, but few patients with hepatic tumors are candidates for surgery. Recent results suggest that radiofrequency thermal
## 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
